Going out the the farm where my car is tomorrow to test my icm.The small town I live in has no where to test the icm so if somone could tell me what how to test it and what the readings should be would help out a lot.

found out what was wrong with my car the number 1,3,and 5 plugs had the gap fully closed off some how.So I did a comprission test and the 1,2,4,5,6,cylinders are at 180 psi or 12 kPax and 3 is 145 psi or 9.5kPax.The specs are for my car are 8.5:1 I think that would be kPax but not sure any help would be appreciated thank you

do the plugs look like they were hit? any damage on them?
with those compression numbers id toss in a new set of plugs and wires and call it a day.

did new plugs again these ones were only a month old, and no they were not damaged, and why would the number 3 cylinder be that much different

3 could be a bit beat up being the middle of a heat sandwich.
or you chipped that piston. when that happens the plug usually gets the bottom smashed off.

ok the car is running good now and no more trouble codes have come up so I will just drive it easy for the rest of the winter.I do want to do the top in the spring just getting the funds for the build.

If the icm checks out good next step would be your crank sensor if the car has not had regular oil changes it can get gummed up or it is just going bad. but my money is on the icm or you have three cracked coil packs

How would oil changes have anything to do with the crank sensor?
