Yea so my car has been acting weird lately i did a compression test last year and i got 230 210 230 210. So my recent one i just did i got 240 210 225 130. The 130 is the one that takes the cake? What is wrong here? i didnt have my foot on the gas because i couldnt find the EFI fuse? I have a 4th gen with a jdm h22a. Can someone tell me whats wrong? What i can do? This is the 2nd motor i have had and i dont want another. Let me know thanks.

 

low compression is caused by bent valve, hg leak, ring blowby, so thats a good place to start, if u take off ur rad cap are there bubbles??? could be hg then, did u ever mis-shift??? could be bent valves..its hard to say just based on the compression test what the actual problem is

well you should try and find the efi fuse but not holding the throttle plate open ususally doesn't effect readings that much,,

you should crank the car until the presure doesn't rise anymore,

130 is really low, so you could have bent a valve, or is this car boosted/nitrious? if so you could have snapped the ring landings and thats causing all your blow by

 

Add one teaspoon of oil in your 130psi cylinder through the spark plug hole. Retest and if you get a higher reading then your piston rings are at fault.

 

Yea i dunno i havent really mis-shifted lately i always add a quart of oil once a week or every 10 days. But im also leaking oil from my oil pan. So i didnt think i was burning it..no bubbles in the coolant. I have a huge fuel problem tho. I am running rich enough for 5 cars. I leak gas through my fuel filter and everything. My car does not have nitrous or turbo but it does have type-s internals in the block.

Tony learn how to drive dammit. But if your going to just drive the car how it is, i would try thicker weight oil to stretch your engine life 20-50 and it should slow down your oil burning . Who did the type- s internals

 

Haha i know how to drive man its just when i take it to 8200 i dont think it likes it to much. But anyway i had it tested and my piston rings are gone. The leakdown test came out good no bent valves. SOOO I have been savin some money and im getting it rebuilt.
Crower stage 2 cams springs retainers, Ferrera Valves, and i think im going to give the new Mahle Pistons a shot 11-5-1. Just ordered my new oil pan, Str cam seal, Inline pro thin head gasket and Apr studs. Lets break this bad boy into the 13's. Haha wish me luck! BTW Ehhh i kinda did the pistons. With a little bit of help of course. HAHA
