So I just did a compression test on my 04 D2. I have a misfire in cylinder 4 with the code p0304. No other codes.
In addition i also performed a spark test (and replaced 3 mangacores as they broke whilst removing them, thanks mangecore).
All cylinders are getting good spark
PSI are average of three tries dry
Cyl1........185..............has oil on plug, is gummy and dark and there is oil around plug area
Cyl2........188.33.........
Cyl3........145..............WET..........152.33(ave of three tries)
Cyl4........178.33.........
Cyl5........171.66.........
Cyl6........170.............
Cyl7........175..............really clean plug
Cyl8........176.66........oil on plug and around the plug area, not as dirty as plug 1
I did not perform a wet test to the other cylinders as I felt that the compression was high enough that there was no indication of any issues.
So cylinder 4 is misfiring but cylinder 3 has low compression.
Am I missing something here?
Is my p0304 a result of a bad MAF? (I am installing a new one today, plus new plugs)
What about cylinder 3? I feel that since there wasn't a huge jump in compression that it's not the rings, but more likely the valves.
I have a leak down tester, and will run cylinder 3, but i'm seeing what everyone thinks before I go hand cranking the engine over.
Any help or suggestions would be great.
