Compression Check

Check engine mechanical condition with a compression gauge, vacuum gauge, or an engine analyzer. See engine analyzer instruction 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.
