compression tester
I want to buy a relatively inexpensive compression tester. What do you guys recommend? I am seeing some good deals on ebay. Any brands to stay away from?

i believe you plug in the compression tester in place of the spark plug in the cylinder you are testing, then you crank the engine a bit. the guage should now say how much psi the compression is in that cylinder. i did it on an integra in school.

make sure you pull the fuse for the fuel pump. You want to make sure you have the throttle all the way open as well.
other than, pretty simple. Most autoparts stores, especially NAPA will have the basic gauge compression testers. There are electronic ones, but they are a waste of money.

You want to crank it for about 10 seconds to get a good reading.
