1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera mileage: 180,000. I recently did a compression test on my car because of poor running and stalling problems, and because we wanted to determine if the car's engine performance was good enough to keep a little longer before getting other things fixed. We got the following readings, and would like to get your comments/opinions on them. I don't know official cylinder number but will give them from left to right: #1 - 152; #2 - 165; #3 - 152; #4 - 149. I did notice that the last cylinder mentioned, jumped up to about 90 psi real quick like the others, but then took a little longer to get to 149. Any comments or suggestions? Are these acceptably balanced numbers or do I have a serious problem looming? Thanks for your help.
