Re: Compression test reults
Well the starter wouldn't kick over so i had to go over the wiring since thekid did a auto to manual conversion and after that couldn't get the starter todo a damn thing, i found that i had to jump two wires together, and when they did that they changed the intake manifold so it would have a two wire IACV and the wire on the thermostat housing wasn't grounded good enough, so a quick reposition of the ground to the thermostat housing and wham she's up and running. Not too bad for a 96 EX Civic with 96k on it. Best part is that he gave me an extra manual tranny, pedal assembly, factory clutch lines, slave cyclinder, clutch master cyclinder, shift linkage so basically i have a whole swap to change another car to maunal, so after i sell that i should have a $300-$400 car with coilovers on it and a DC header.It was a win-win situation for me.
