Subject:compression/vacuum/fuel pressure/O2 voltage

My son's new '87 syncro is still running pretty rough.

I monitored fuel pressure 30 w/vacuum, 39 without vacuum. GOOD

I measured compression: 160,140,160,155  SO SO?
Plugs look pretty sooty!

I measured vacuum: 15" at 950 rpm, some fluctuation (GOOD/BAD??)
                   20" at 2,000 rpm, smooth

I monitored O2 sensor voltage (with lead disconnected):
0.05V at idle with 30 PSI fuel pressure   BAD?
sensor voltage rises above idle
0.8V with 39 psi fuel pressure at idle (vacuum disconnected)???
(exchanged AFM... No difference!)

I thought I might next check the injectors for spray pattern..

Anything else I should do?

Any comments or suggestions will be greatly apreciated.

Gary
