Compression test

High tension 1





Warning!
The ignition system works with high ignition tension and dangerous voltage in both low and high tension circuits.

High voltages are found throughout the ignition system, including the connectors etc.

Compression (normal value) 2








Note!
Applies when engine is warm, with wide open throttle (WOT) and when turning over the starter motor; 4.2-5.0 r/s (250-300 rpm).

Disconnect the engine speed (RPM) sensor. 3

and wide open throttle (WOT)

Press down accelerator pedal (AP) all the way.





Turn the ignition key to the starting position.

Measure compression in all cylinders.

Reinstall the spark plugs so the gasket is placed against the cylinder head. Torque tighten to 25 Nm (18.4 ft. lbs).
