Re: Compression test question



Hi Damien:

Why not just pull the fuse? I don't think that's even needed, though. You're talking about 3 or 4 revolutions of the crank for each cylinder, i.e. not a lot of fuel. I've never cut the fuel, and never had a problem with the cylinders becoming flooded.

Subject: Compression test question

OK the question will seems basic.



I want to perform cylinder compression test on my spider 86 and I want to know
what the simplest way to cut fuel is.



On my other cars, I had just removed the gas pump fuse in the fuse box. With
the spider, it seems more complex to get access to the fuse. I reed it is back
of the driver sit.



I reed that someone simply disconnect the coil, but I don't want to pour some
gas in the oil pan



Here is my choices: 1) disconnect the gas pump under the car, 2) disconnect
electrical wires at each injector or 3) disconnect the wire at the air flow
meter



What is the best way ?
