ok so i did a compression test today and first noticed that i definetly am running ruch, so my tailpipe AFR has to be wrong, my front 3 plugs which i replaced last week look liked they had been in a car for 20,000 miles.... all carboned up.
anyways, so heres the compression numbers.
Cylinder 1 - 220psi
Cylinder 2 - 230psi
Cylinder 3 - 230psi
Cylinder 4 - 205psi
Cylinder 5 - 210psi
Cylinder 6 - 220psi
now seeing the downwards fluctuation in cylinders 4/5 raises an alarm but i believe they are still in spect, i have zero luck with alldata, the compression numbers were all over the place in this huge grid which made no sense, even my teacher didnt understand it, it said that in spect compression numbers were 175psi to 230psi which i didnt understand that seems way too broad, also alldata, had the incorrect fuel pump relay location, so i pulled the relay it said to and i still had fuel coming in so i to pull all the ones near it until i found which one made the fuel pump not come on..... so with the compression, my teacher said just take the highest psi divide by 10 and then subtract so tecnically,
230 divided by ten is 23 so that would equal, 207 which is 2 psi above the lowest 105psi.
so i need to get some reasurance here, my teacher said it was fine, but i doubt the guy sometimes, not doubt his skills but hes just really old and it just seems like hes not 100% on the ball sometimes.
anyways, i didnt have time to do a leak down test, but i think ill do that later next week.
after school i seafoamed my car again, i had done it a few weeks back but my teacher told me not to shut off my engine so all the stuff just went right through the engine and it smoked for like 10 seconds.
so i got another bottle and this time added it through the main line right by the TB, last time i added it through a vacuum line near the coil pack, anyways, so i cut a water bottle in half so i could see what i was doing, added about half and then wait about 5 minutes and then fired her up! man it was awsome so much smoke, it almost caused several fights actually, i tried to do it away from people but the smoke blew on the few cars and some jackass kids got pissed off, it was quite hilarious actually. i added about half the bottle and then added a bit in the oil fill and the gas tank to see if it did anything.
so about 10 minutes later i left, and gunned it up the road, and looked back to see nothing but blue smoke. so it was apart that oil was coming out the exhuast but the best part was drowning the poor lady behind me in a cloud, she pulled up next to me screaming!! it was great.
anyways, thats my day. throttle response is much better after foaming, but doesnt feel any faster, yet.
