Perhaps a local parts store has a tool loan or rental program you can take advantage of? If not, let that test slide, and concentrate on the other issues first. And remember, the ECU will need an hour or two of drive time to self-tune itself, so it may well be a little off until it has had time to tweak its fuel tables.

I didn't realize it would take an hour or two of drive time. Guess I need to go on a drive...

That's not much use, I'm afraid. You really have to have the jumper in place to get or do anything worthwhile.

I can't find which ones to jumper, am I an idiot...? (You don't have to answer that.)

Not really. All engines seem to do that, even when the fuel is injected two feet downstream of he throttle blade. Besides which, there's no combustion in the intake manifold, so any fuel present there would be raw gasoline, which would wash the throttles, not stain them black with soot. The soot is from oil vapor, which comes from the crankcase.

I'd look at the other things I listed before worrying about compression.
Good to know there is some combatibility there. Thanks to mr220v for jumping in again with some useful info![/QUOTE]
