91 L98 - compression test results.
2 weeks ago i had to fix a misfire that a dealer caused - part of the diagnosis i I had a compression test done. here are the results:
# 1 224 #2 215
#3 225 #4 213
#5 223 #6 210
#7 220 #8 215
How do these numbers look?
Also today after driving about 500 miles on it since picking it up - when idling it seems to jump ever so often. thoughts?
TIA,
>mike

After seeing those numbers you'll have to change your name to "Mr Good Luck"; very nice results.
You might check the plugs and wires; also see if the TB & plates are carboned up. If so use some TB cleaner on them.

just had the plugs changed (2 of the wires were on reverse - thanks to the Dealer :mad: ) and wires were changed along with the ignition cable which was burned.

My 90 only put up 190 on all 8 cylinders. Those are some good numbers
