Hi! I bought a 1993 FD last year and I love it.

I was interested in getting a compression test for reference, and I took it to a dealer (Westowne Mazda) who tried, but they realized they couldn't because their OBD1 tester hadn't been used in 5 years and it no longer worked. I called around and other dealers were in a similar situation. I looked on the forums here and most of the input was from over 5 years ago.

Any recommendations for getting a copmression test done? Where do people service their FDs around Toronto?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

If you're mechanically competent enough to change your own spark plugs, you can buy one of these babies and do the compression test yourself...



The vendor is on this forum, look him up. He often runs discounts on these, typically costs about $285 (shipped in the US). Not sure if he ships to Canada but it wouldn't hurt to ask. BTW, I've been playing with rotaries since the mid-'80s and just bought one of these a few months ago - don't know how I lived without it, great tool, easy to use and quality construction.

Thank you - will do!

 

Finally did my compression test using the Rotary Compression Tester. Super impressed with the product. High quality, worked exactly as expected, all great. I spent some time researching the process, and then it only took me an hour to do. For reference, this was the best instructional video I found.

Good numbers, you should get lots of miles out of that motor!
