Hello Prime Members,
As some of you know, I recently purchased a 91 NSX, and I had no service records on the car. Ugh....Needless to say I have been attacking every maintenance item, since I am flying blind. I used Larry's and Gary's fantastic write up on the Timing Belt replacement. I have slowly and arduously replaced every coolant hose in the car, had Brian at NSX e repair fix my cooling fan relay because my fans were running randomly, changed the main relay and ignition switch (preemptively).
Since I have the sparkplugs pulled and coilpacks pulled, I thought I would do a compression test to check the overall health of the engine/cylinders/pistons. I know the compression values to look for in our cars, and the deviation between any of the cylinders, but I could not find a WIKI article on how to PROPERLY perform it on our cars. I have done it on a 4 cylinder 1989 Mazda before. I wanted to know if there was any ignition plug or fuse to pull or fuel pump/relay/fuse or plug to pull. I don't want to harm any other components by doing it improperly. Any advice or and DIY articles would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
