Default D16Z6 compression test...

From left to right, cylinders 1-4: 149, 149, 150, 148

the motor has 155,000 miles on it. I know it's good to have the numbers close to each other, but are the numbers low all together?

the numbers are a little low but there close together so you should be ok they should be around 200+ psi did you check with the gas all the way down and the motor warm?

well, the motor was somewhat warm, but not that close to normal temp...

i did it with all the spark plugs loosened, and cranked it until the gauge stopped climbing.

what would the throttle position have to do with anything?

So all we need to do is removing the 4 wires, and spark plugs, then start cranking on each Cyl right?

You need to disable the fuel or you will be washing all of your cylinders and getting low numbers
