Funny you should mention that ..............
My one and only engine fire was while I was testing the injectors for flow.
With very little fuel I still got a memorable blaze that requires a good
$100.00 bill to repair.
Since it's so simple I'd unplug one of the wires that are on the fuel pump
just to be sure I had a Vanagon tomorrow.
Ground the coil wire is sometimes hit and miss with sorry imported alligator
clips that slip off or don't make god contact.

Subject: Compression check procedure question

Hi Listees,
In Bentley's description of doing a compression check on a 2.1 liter
engine, he mentions having the throttle open fully and grounding the
coil wire, but doesn't say anything about disabling the fuel pump. Does
that mean that it is OK for gas to enter the cylinders during the check?
If you think the pump should be disabled, what is the best way to do
that?
Thanks for your help.
