grandprix104 Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Ok well Ive been meaning to do a compression test for a while now but i am only now getting around to it. I have never done one before and was wondering if there were any specifics on this particular engine - particularily in regaurds to disabling the ignition system so i dont have sparks flying everywhere. So if any of you are bored and wouldnt mind shedding some light on my inexperence i would be happy for some help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slade901 Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Just disconnect the power source plug to your ICM (Ignition Control Module). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandprix104 Posted June 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 well i finished the compression test with a high reading of 150 and a low of 125 so it looks like everything is fine. I also found a hookup for auto parts through a co-worker. Her husband works for ford but can get any auto parts at cost for me! Anyway I'll soon be planning to take a trip to my step-dads to install a head set and I may also drop the subframe and do the oil pan. Anyway now that i know that its not my engine thats shot im not going to mind spending money on it for struts and other stuff like exaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god910 Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Not to be nit-pickey, but typically no more than a 10% variation is considered good. but I probably wouldn't be worried about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
