Totally Dead #1 Rotor
Received a call from a local auto shop specializing in foreign cars. The owner was doing a freebie checkup for a friend's single turbo FD which was having idle problems; idling very rough. He was unsure of the problem.
I grabbed my laptop, digital compressor tester, DL, spare plugs, and some tools and went over to the shop. The problem was the front rotor had "NO COMPRESSION". I tested it two times and it logged 0psi. I then logged the #2 rotor and it had 115 PSI. Went back to the front and 0 again. I even logged me blowing on the pressure sensor and it recorded above 0 psi. (yea make a joke!). Then I used a mechanical gauge and it also read 0 on #1 rotor.
Afterwords with the plugs cleaned and put back in, the car started up without any problems but was only running on #2 rotor.
This was the first time I seen such a total failure of a rotor.
