Very low compression/spark plugs smell like fuel, please help.
Hey guys, some of you may have read about my problem. I overboosted and my car suddenly stalled right after I parked my car and was about to turn the key. If you're interested in the full story, read this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=594454
Anyway, I just did a compression test on my B20B and all the cylinders were pretty much even, but very low. They were all around 80-85. Another note is my spark plugs smelled like fuel. I remember the night that it happened, when I tried to start the car some smoke would come out from where the fuel rail is, but probably lower. Also, it would only start up if I depressed the throttle a little.
Any ideas what this problem could be before I start ripping everything apart? Is my bottom end done? Any/all help is very much appreciated.
On a side note, when doing a compression test, will I get different results if I do it with every spark plug out, rather than removing one at a time and doing it? I shouldn't right?
Thanks,
Nick

take all plugs out or you will get different results due to the comp of the other three cylinders. also make sure you have the throttle open all the way when you do the comp test.
