how did you perform the test? did you crank at WOT? how many times did you crank? did you have all plugs removed before you cranked?

Are those supposed to be factory compression numbers or are you running lower CR?

Make sure that your compression tester is still functioning properly and all air is sealed on the connecting joints of the tester. If your compression was so poo pooy then there would be no reason why the car should pull so hard and at stock compression you should be seeing well over 200 on each cylinder, not sure of exact range bnut definitely over 200 and remember to remove FI fuse to not flood the engine with fuel. Good luck and I would try a second tester. BTW any reason in particular you did the test? Or was it just routine check up. Peace.

where is the FI fuse located. Is it under the dapoo pooried to find it but got confused the last I tried to remove mine.

should you leave the other spark plugs in when you check a cylinder?

I don't know about Teg's, but when I pulled the FI fuse from my Civic, it also disabled the ECU altogether, so you might want to pull the fuel pump fuse in the cabin fuse panel, worked for me

FI fuse on my gsr or any other for that is in the engine bay at the fuse box next to the battery, and remove all spark plugs and cables. BTW make sure to hold throttle open completely when cranking the engine over.. Hope that helped
