Engine should be warmed up. Take out all 4 plugs, unplug your main relay or FI fuse or something so the injectors don't spray gasoline.

Hold the throttle wide open & crank until the gauge stops increasing.

What's important is how much the pressures vary from one to another. Someone's bound to post typical #s for d16, but remember that different gauges can read higher or lower. If you really want to compare #s with someone else, you have to use the same gauge & make sure your starters both turn the same RPM.

 

thanks for all the helpfull info i did the compression test with no problem all 4 cylinders hit 180psi

thanks,
Derek
