Because of this tread http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/146022-3-4l-trd-supercharger-thread.html I wanna supercharge it. Now I've looked at review on this gauge tester and everyone said it sucks and reads way low, it also docent help it's used multiple times and probably taken apart...

I think the gauge I was using wasn't the best, I got it on rent from auto zone it's a oem compression tester gauge set. However the nozel that you screw into where the spark plig usually sits I don't think could get very snug, the way it was designed is that you drip it in and have to turn the...

Just did another compression test today and got 110 100 95 100 95 110 They all have compression but that is low for these engines?

No, it was the second one I did, got 0 then I even went back later to do it and still got 0. I know they say to have someone else with you to crank the car and one to look at the gauge but I didn't have anyone available so maybe it dripped between me getting out of the car to look at the gauge?

Thank you, I got the gauge as a rental from auto zone so I think it may be faulty. But this still does not explain why one cylinder has 0 compression. I think I may just take it to a shop, get them to do a compressuon test and if they find what I found( I'm praying I did the test wrong) I will...

So should I chalk it up to me just doing the compression test wrong since all cylinders were reading low, and the one wasn't ever reading at all. Or should I be seriously concerned ?

That's why I'm confused as to why I got 0 in just that one cylinder, everything seems to be working completley fine. I guess I'm going to have a shop do a compression test and I'll ask about a leakage test then see where it goes from there. I really wanted to supercharger but now that's looking...

it's a 6 cylinder with almost 160k, I'm thinking I did the test wrong, I know they say to do it on a warm engine but how are you supposed to get all 6 plugs out before it goes cold? So would that be a reason my numbers are low ? I've also read that gauges range and as long as they are all close...

Well now just started it and no cel, everything seems to be completely fine. One thing I did notice was the wheels were tough to turn when not moving? Maybe from not enough power to them yet ? Idk

Now I started it, got a check engine light , pulled the code with my ultraguage and it's p1300 . I never had this before I did the compression test . What did I do ?

So I didn't mess anything up with the spark that occurred when o was taking the spark plug out?

Also to note it was running 100% fine, no cel or anything before I tried to do the compression test. Also does it matter if it is due fpr an oil change ? The shop put in synthetic and I want to switch back to normal, would this be why the cylinders are low?

Please help, I was doing a compression test on a vehicle I just bought and I am experiencing low compression in all cylinders, 110 and then in the middle cylinder on the driver side there is absolutely 0 compression. One thing that has me extra scared is when I was taking the spark plug out of...
