a friend of mine is having problems with his '99 corolla.... he says its missing at idle and severely lacks power when dropped into gear; its a 1zz.. if any other info would be helpful just ask and i'll see what i can get from him. Thanks in advance.

you are supposed to do compression testing with the engine fully warmed up. and yes those numbers are very very bad. doubtful its the head gasket because they dont go bad on the ZZ engines (usually) but it could be a broken VVT gear, bent valves, timing way off. there is just way too many possibilities. I havent heard much on the corolla side but in the celica world with 2000-2003 1ZZ-Fe engines, they drank oil due to having bad piston rings. its possible this is the same situation.
