my accord with 8.8.1 comp reads about 155psi across the board while my girls minime reads 210psi and its about 10.1. you cant really go by what the compresssion tester says.

it depends how you test it... if you just pull the plug wires and test... it washes the cylinders down with gas and what not... i believe (could be wrong) if yuo do it the right why and stop the gas... it reads higher
