Mechanical Inspection: Compression

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check engine mechanical condition using a compression gauge, vacuum gauge or engine analyzer. If using engine analyzer, see engine analyzer manual for specific instructions. Compression pressures are considered within specifications if lowest reading cylinder is within 75 percent of highest reading cylinder.
