I've searched but can't find exactly what I'm looking for.
I have a motor (still in the car) that I'm trying to test compression on before I remove it. I have most of the FI/engine wiring harness disconnected so I'm wondering if I can wire up leads from a battery to the starter/solenoid so I can crank the engine over? Is there an easy way to do this? |

It's not pointless, but the readings will be less than those of a hot engine with the piston rings expanded etc. So don't expect to match the hot range listed in the haynes manual. You will probably be able to verify all cylinders are reading within range of each other if no problems exist.
Make sure your spark plugs are removed and the throttle body is open. And your transmission is in neutral! You can buy a cheap universal starter push button switch at your flaps. |
