Hi,
How do I do a compression test on my engine? What about on an engine sitting out of the car? I heard that I can crank it with a battery hooked up to the starter… but how??
Please help! Thanks!
Search… I explaind this just a few weeks ago in this forum.

Send a 12V signal to the starter trigger connection.
take the spark plugs out, take the fuel pump fuse out, use a compression testor, um, dunno what else, been a while
To get an accurate compression reading the engine has to be at optimal running temp.
I didn’t realize the freakin’ gauge costs so much…
Is there someone near-by Standard Auto Wreckers with a compression guage? I could really use some help! Thank you!
Dude there $21.99 at CT thats not expensive.
I spent $69.99 on mine dude.
WHAT??? 21.99 at CT?? I’m going today…
Went yesterday and some dude told me $90 to start, average around 140… that’s when I said forget it… but i gotta go and check it out! Thanks!
