Mechanical Inspection: Compression

Check engine mechanical condition with a compression gauge, vacuum gauge or an engine analyzer. See engine analyzer manual for specific instructions.

CAUTION: DO NOT use ignition switch during compression tests on fuel injected engines. Use a remote starter to crank engine. Fuel injectors on many models are triggered by ignition switch during cranking mode, which can create fire hazard and contaminate engine oiling system.
