I didnt do the test. but the shop that I took it to stopped at no. 1

so as soon as im done being pissed im going to borrow my friends comp tester and do it myself. I wanted the shop to do timing on the car because I do not have an old fashioned light. If I knew that they were just going to do a comp test and stop at the first cylinder I would have done it myself in the first place.

Its weird how the car behaves, one minute the car is bogged and drives like crap, (example: the mechanic pulling into traffic and almost getting rear-ended due to the lack of power) and the next the cars power is almost restored (like when I did a burnout with it leaving the shop) id assume the cat is acting up due to excess fuel. I don't think its a valve because theres no noise from it, it just sounds like its running with no spark in one cylinder. (im not stupid it has plenty of spark)
