Can't do the compression test right ... ************
Do I use the 14mm long reach adapter? It says it's for 14mm long reach plugs only. I can't get any readings on the gauge.
Does the car have to be warm, first? My car kind of has a fugged up idle and ****.
What are the stock numbers for a stock block D16Y8?

I must have missed something....what adapter?? I always just pull the plugs, pull the 15A fuse(top left) in the underhood fusebox and push the clutch and gas all the way in, and wind it over about 7 or 8 times. Maybe you have a different kind of gauge or something, but the one that I have just screws right into the spark plug hole.

Well, I do the test and once I do it a couple times, the car starts not wanting to crank. Do I just wait and do more later? or what?
So far so good.....

Re: ... (Ltech)
What should I check? The battery seems fine to me. If it wasn't connected, then the car wouldn't do anything. This is so gay, I need to do the 4th cylinder then I can cry or rejoice. Arghh! 
It'll crank for a sec and then stop. Then the starter just goes tick tick tick, etc...hmmm, maybe it is the battery?!

Re: ... (OneCamTurbo)
My numbers so far are:
1: 185
2: 185
3: 185
4: 170 <====== (This was when the car was not cranking right though, so I want to re-do her)
Stock block D16Y8, looks good?

Re: ... (inspyral)
Uh, mine are consistent so it's not bad, right? RIGHT?!
My car is not starting. I can hear the starter ticking, but the car doesn't start. Is that a bad battery? All my lighting still works tho...

185 is perfect. I get something like 190-185-180-190 in mine. 220psi is WAY high on a stock D16Y8!
