My car wont also start. One night commuted from work farther than usual and drove the engine hard a bit. Parked it. Next morning it wont start.

There is spark, fuel on the plugs, rotor inside dizzy cap turns, cam gears line up, timing belt is tight, but theres one thing. I just did a compression test and the results are weird.

stock gsr swap with intake and exhaust in a 94 hatch

psi from dizzy to right cyls

140 , 125 , 175 , 150

some of them took more than a couple cranks to reach the max psi

175 was alot quicker than the others.

please help. only car i have.

i will also check the main relay.
