Mechanical Inspection: Compression

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Acura Integra, 1999 Acura 3.5RL, 1999 Acura 3.2TL, 1999 Acura 3.0CL, and 1999 Acura 2.3CL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Test engine mechanical condition with a compression gauge, vacuum gauge, or an engine analyzer. See engine analyzer manual for specific instructions.

WARNING: DO NOT use ignition switch during compression tests on fuel injected vehicles. Use a remote starter to crank engine. Fuel injectors on many models are triggered by ignition switch during cranking mode, which can create a fire hazard or contaminate the engine's oiling system.
