compression testing
i've tried looking it up a few places and some suggest slight variations like not unplugging the injectors and shit like that so... my guess goes something like this:
1 -start and bring car to temp then turn off 2 -unplug injectors 3 -unplug spark plug wires 4 -remove spark plugs 5 -plug in compression checker 6 -turn car 6 or so times with gas fully pressed 7 -repeat steps 5-6 for each spark plug hole 8 -hit crack pipe am i missing something with the intake or is that a good list? |
Thats pretty good. As general rule 5-6 turns will do it, but really I just watch the guage and see when the needle stop rising significantly. I just unhook the injectors and the plugs too.
|
sounds like a plan. that last one makes sense too
|
Or you can just take out the fuel pump fuse under the hood :) would be alot easier.
|
all in between 175-180. i'll take it.
|
within 10% variation - good
|
its really close to around 3%, that can't be bad.
|
I thought I heard something about burning out the coilpack if no injectors were connected, but maybe I'm wrong, note am talking about 1.6l, dunno your car off hand.
|
the only thing i read was progressively unplugging them resulted in a burn out, so it only distributes load over 3 then 2 then 1 coils when it is designed for 4 at once. when none of them are connected, the coilpack isn't making a circuit (i think,) and so it can't be burnt out. feel free to correct me, this is all speculation.
does anything bad happen to run a test with the injectors enabled? fyi, i turned the car over quite a few more times than 24 (6 per plug) i tested each hole about 3-4 times with the injectors unplugged. and i didn't burn out my coil pack, knock-on-wood. |

Seems like pulling the injector and the ignition fuses would do the trick. 30a and 60a on my car.
|
I'd also add unplug your coil pack if your using an OEM part. I've heard that they can burn up pretty easily when doing a compression test without being grounded.
I'd also add like some others have stated about the fuel. Some ECU's have a flood clear section. On mine if the TPS sensor reads 85% it will not send any fuel past the injectors. Maybe easier than trying to find and pull a fuse. |
yeah, might as well disable them. i can see how bad grounding could adversely affect them.
