Compression pressure check
- Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
- Remove the fuel pump fuse(15A).
- Wait until the engine stopped.
- Remove the ignition coils and spark plugs.
- Crank the engine to remove any foreign material in the cylinders.
- Put a compression pressure gauge into spark plug hole.
- Check compression pressure at each cylinder.
Specification: Approx. 15kg/cm2
- Is compression pressure for each cylinder displayed within specifications?
YES
- Go to "IGNITION SYSTEM CHECK " procedure.
NO
- Add a small amount of oil through the spark plug hole, and repeat above steps. If the addition of oil causes the compression to rise, the cause is a worn or damaged piston ring or cylinder inner surface.
- If the compressions at each cylinders are not same or not simular, a burnt or defective valve seat, worn head gasket and pressure rings can be the cause of vibration of engine. Repair as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
