You need a spark plug socket a ratchet extension and a compression tester..go find one at autozone or something. Make sure your engine is warm...remove the sprak plugs, and the ECM fuse. have someone hold the compression tester while you go in your car and crank the engine over til you get a solid reading on all 4 cylinders.
