no , they dont . so if comp is low and a cyl has a slight missfire at idle and throws a code for it . its not a problem ? i have seen it before and it does cause problems .

my SS with the original motor did that. Idled normal and drove fine but on slight acceleration it would misfire and the SES would blink…then it would go off…
that resulted in 20psi with a tea spoon of oil LOL

> Why do you disagree Travis. Please do explain as I believe John stands correct here. SRS. every time I have done and seen it done was not at all normal operating temps. If it’s to help you sleep at night then so be it. Again not trying to be a dick just interested.
In general, any kind of operational checkout on a piece of equipment is done with the piece being tested at as close to operating conditions as possible. Specifically, in this case, an internal combustion engine does not ‘seal’ up (PTWC, etc) until it’s at full operating temp, and that is when any kind of check should be completed.
I do agree with the lumberjack that something is slightly different with that cylinder when it’s not up to full temp (keep it mind it’s read from 10-15psi lower than the others, not 50 or anything), but I’m not concerned at all. I’ll continue to beat the shit out of the car and check the compression every plug change and update the thread if anything changes.

We’re talking less than 10% variation when cold, you aren’t going to get a misfire for that.
