Engine Performance problem
1993 Acura Integra 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 160.00 miles

sorry my spelling was so bad the other day migrain will do that. i did a compression test and have 60-65 psi per cylinder. checked my ignition system and i have a nice dluish white spark off the platnum plugs. so im stumped. what would cause the low compression accross the board? i can understand low on 1 or 2 cylinders but all 4 being so low and withen 3 psi of eachother. head gasket is good so im thinking the timing is a lil off. any other ideas please?

Did you do both dry and wet test?

If its the headgasket you can blame it if its low on 2 adjacent cylinders.

Low compression in all cylinders would tell you the rings and cylinders are worn and the engine needs to be overhauled.
