Im assuming I did it the correct way.
Removed all plugs, engine still semi warm. Pulled the connectors off of the injectors and cranked it for about 7-9 secs with my foot on the gas pedal to keep the TB plate open.

Results:

Cyl.1 : 198psi
Cyl. 2: 198psi
Cyl. 3: 199psi
Cyl. 4: 199psi
Cyl. 5: 200psi
Cyl. 6: 199psi

Not bad for 186,000 miles.

That's a great result and these tiny differences in compression between cylinders are absolutely negligible!

I couldnt believe it myself.

The cars been a little sluggish lately and im not sure why. The car still has the original wires on it and I think they may be getting old.

Never had a mis-fire code though.
