Hi all.

I finally got around to doing a more recent compression test on my 1988 2.1 WBX.

Engine cold: all cylinders 120 PSI. (throttle valve switch was
DIS-connected though. I smelled fuel. Maybe fuel washed down the
cylinders?)

Engine warm, bottom of case 39º C, throttle switch connected

Cylinders 1/3  120
Cylinders 2/4  150

Throttle body valve was open for each test.

As a last resort, I will check the head nuts to see if any are
obviously loose but do those readings possibly indicate a cam issue?

Neil.
