I tested the compression today. #1 was at about 30psi, #2 130psi and 4 and 5 both at 170psi. The injectors all sounded the same so i did not even try the swap. Im assuming that whatever the compression problem is in cylinder # 1 [most likely rings?], it is just not getting enough compression to operate at low rpms.
I did the filter as part of the tune up and even drained all the old gas. I bought this thing after it had been sitting for a long time.
Taking into consideration the compression in the first 2 cylinders, is the ECU still a possibility? Can low compresion cause the sympoms I am describing? I even went as far as dumping a half a bottel of 100% petroleukm in the motor and the idle is almost normal now, with the occasional miss.
And lastly. IF I am going to crack this thing open to do rings and possible valves, shouold I jsut rebuild the whole car? The kit is extreamly cheap, but is it a lot of extra work? It seems to me jsut looking at the size of the block, rebuilding it would be the better rout, instead of just doing the rings.
Oh and i never posted my vehicle...
