Default this suck shep...I can not figure out why you'd be so low other than a leak

have you check the injectors? IIRC they look fine.

maybe time to drop off @ Autobahn Premier Service and let Randy & Todd see wht they can find. 303-935-9065

Default well actually I could be low because of carbon build up

either things not sealing very well, or enough buildup on the top of the cylinders that they I'm not pulling as much as I should be.

I don't believe I have a leak. That would have been revealed by now... with the numerous pressure/vacuum test I have done. I'm not far off at this point 1~2 in HG of mercury, so it has to be something small.

I've got some o-rings to replace on the injectors, a motor vac /3M cleaning to do and ultrasonically clean the injectors, as well as clean the throttle plate.

Tonight I run a compression check and see how it goes.

Default Over lunch today I saw 17 inches of mercury at idle.

Keep in mind, with the car shut off the gauge reads two inches of mercury.

Default so are you saying that you may be closer to 15 in HG increase upon idle?

or decrease.. whatever you want to call it.

Default Yeah, I guess so. Hell who knows...

I don't think I've seen a guage default to exactly zero up here anyway.
