#2 130,130
#3 130,130
#4 130,130

my methodology:
ran car for 10 seconds, shut it off and went to work. Also, I didn't record the 'maximum' value like my Chilton's manual says to do. I let it spin over exactly twice every time, and recorded the value on the second crank. I noticed that on the weakest cylinder, it would get to 150 if I cranked it over about 5 times or so. I didn't get any other max values.
Is this data worth anything?
find my problem from yesterday's track run. I have 3 totally flaky plug wires, and the #3 wire was open, as in no spark, as in wo0T. Got a little melted too.

a compression test is kinda "eh", my car has great compression, 145-155 across the board, but leaks down 25% across the rings! Pick up some Autozone life time warrenty wires so you don't have to worry about melted wires again.
