To check engine compression, bring engine to normal operating temperature. Disconnect distributor electrical connector(s). Disconnect fuel injector connectors. Remove air intake hose from throttle body. Remove all spark plugs. Fully open throttle. Ensure engine cranking speed is at least 250 RPM when measuring compression.
