Compession Pressure Inspection

• If the there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel economy, measure the
compression pressure.
1. Start the engine and turn the coolant temperature to 80 - 95 °C and stop.
2. Remove the engine cover.
(Refer to Engine and Transaxle Assembly - "Engine Cover")
ca
3. Disconnect the injector extension connector (A) and the ignition coil connectors (B).

4. Remove the ignition coils.

(Refer to Engine Electical System - "Ignition Coil")
5. Remove the spark plugs. Using a 16mm plug wrench, remove the 4 spark plugs.
(Refer to Engine Electrical System - "Spark Plug")
6. Check the cylinder compression pressure.
(1) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
 (2) Set the throttle plate in the wide-open position.
(3) While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.

• Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine speed of 250rpm or more.

(4) Repeat step (1) through (3) for each cylinder.

ca
• This measurement must be done in as short time as possible.

Compression pressure
Standard : 1225.83 kPa (12.5 kg/cm², 177.79 psi) (200 - 250 rpm)

ia
Minimum : 1078.73 kPa (11.0 kg/cm², 156.46 psi)

gn
Difference between each cylinder :
98 kPa (1.0 kg/cm², 14 psi) or less

(5) If the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the
cylinder through the spark plug hole and repeat step 1) through 3) for cylinders with low compression.
• If adding oil helps the compression, it is likely that the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn or
damaged.
• If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating is improper, or there may be leakage past
the gasket.
7. Install the spark plugs.
(Refer to Engine Electrical System - "Spark Plug")
8. Install the ignition coil.
(Refer to Engine Electical System - "Ignition Coil")
9. Connect the injector extension connector (A) and the ignition coil connectors (B).
