22R-E economy/starting drama's

Hey all, my first post on Toymods so be nice 
I currently have my mum's old RA65 auto as a daily driver that needs to last until the end of the year or whenever my Datto project is on the road.
Basically, my mum cooked the motor a few times and my dad recently replaced the head gasket trying to sort the coolant loss/overheating drama's - Ever since it's been getting only 200km to a tank and takes ~2min of cranking to start when cold.
Now the motor does also have low compression in two pots (rings, I've checked), but it did prior the head gasket change and still got over 300km to a tank & started fine, albeit overheating within 5 min.
now that the radiator & head have been fixed, the temp issues are all sorted, but I'm theorizing that my dad in his infinite wisdom screwed up some sensor or possibly something coincidently died at the same time.
What should I be looking for? could the cold start injector be running backwards if he hooked up something wrong? this would explain the hard to start when cold + bad economy problems as a guess but where to look I have NFI.
I have looked at the wiring diagrams for the 22R-E under the tech docs section but as far as I can see it all looks fine.
No, I'm not fixing the compression as it seems irrelevant IMO and the car is getting a 1G-GTE conversion done on it once the datto is on the road so wasting cash on the 22r is not an option
Any help appreciated
Ash
