hey guys i did a compression check... but all i did was remove the top spark plugs and wires and put my pressure gauge there... i forgot to disconnect the CAS and the fuel system plug.. i heard weird fast revolutions... i started the car again and it idles and it pulls hard then i turned it off then on then off then on and it started everytime with out my foot on the gas... the engine has 2000 miles on it.. you think it shoudl be okey? my numbers were 50 front 50 rear...

 

thats confusing.... LIMA PERU! :-p

 

pull the EGI fuse and then do your test.

Push the gas to the floor and crank it.

Top plug is fine for tests. I've used both spots and the results were the same.

50 is seriously low. I mean not going to run low.

Was that cumulative or on each rotor face?

Last time I checked my rebuild I had 65 on each rotor face and about 85 cumulative.

My numbers are still VERY questionable and I have yet to do another test since I'm too afraid to see the results.

 

ALEX you test compression on leading plug not trailing. coem down to fc garage and ill test it for you tommorow

 

You think u fucked your enigne???? OH NO! 3 things to check for: 1) is she loose now? 2) Are You Okay? 3) check for STD's

 

Better do that test again. As stated above, if 50 & 50 car has some serious problems if you have 2000 miles on the engine.

 

title updated.. no profanity in thread titles!

 

If you didnt block open the throttle, or
hit the gas pedal while doing the compression test,
the engine will have nothing to compress, thus
you WILL get a low reading. Just unplug the
crank angle sensor, pull the EGI fuse in the
engine bay panel, disconnect the top plugs
and wires. But make sure you have a good battery
and good tight conections, also warm the car up
for about 10 minutes first. Make sure you remove
the shrader valve from your compression tester.
Then your all set

 

Care to explain the difference? I have heard either T or L is fine.

 

well i always do it in leading since there is a bigger hole. it jsut makes sense to me that it would work better.
