Misc. Questions

This morning i go to start my car...First i check the oil.And notice little tiny bubbles this indicates low compression? While the car is starting i can hear it right now, It sounds good but it bumpy and little tiny like farts and giggles. Any ideas what this could be?
I cleaned the BAC and the TPS has goot setting but i'm not sure what to do....

Off to work. thanks for the replies

Small bubbles is fairly normal when using oil filters that don't have anti-drainback valves (like some of the cheaper Fram and Wix filters) but can happen anytime the oil is a little agitated and viscosity is a little off. What type and weight oil are you using and what is your starting ambiant temp?

Minor mis-fire durning warm up is also not unusual, but usually related to poor gas, bad plugs, wrong temp plugs, bad plug cables, or incorrect timing. If the back fires continue once warm (particularly on lift throttle) then I would be checking the ACV.
