Something's taken a shit and it sounds expensive

Nice plugs...
Katman is right (this is becoming an annoying pattern)

If you've taken the compression readings on a cold motor you can't really read much into those figures.

there are two options: one - it has compressions; two - it does not has compressions. while i accept that it's normal to do it on a warm engine, if it doesn't has compressions on a cold one, it won't get them by being warm eh...

(plus using thumb to check compression on a warm engine is burny)

Is that crud around the porcelaine on the plugs or blowby?

There is medication that can help you with that (the greater the % of Alcohol the better it works). It wont stop him being right ... its just that you wont care as much.

No kidding Einstein.

better question did he do it at WOT ( wide open throttle )
Those plugs are shot.. for readings fit a new set, try a couple of hard pulls shut the motor off then check.
idle tests are a waste of time..

I laughed when I saw your title, reminded me of mine. The problems are not funny, take a glance was going to see if my latest fix was the one. Can't now.....

wtf you talking about? the problems are hilarious.

crud. like melted boot type crud. and road crud. it's a shit design, really, to hide the plugs in there. (OHC, right?)

nice shiney new set of plugs, gapped right, put in, and.... no spark.

weheheheheheeeeelllllll. geniusus.
coil fucked looks like., here's how:

cap resistance values:
1: 9.76kR
2: 41.6kR
3: 10.28kR
4: 10.13kR

coil R values:
Spec: Primary 2-4R; Secondary 30-40kR

1,4 Primary: 4R
Secondary 35.6R
=OK
2,3 Primary 4R
Secondary 65kR, 15.98kR without caps, and 16.23R without HTs (just the coil, like)
=Fucked

Signal generator:
spec 135-200R
measured: 164R; 162R

so, from this, i can fairly safely conclude the coil is fucked. who sells em? -edit-
also, can anyone tell me, from that, why #2 cyl has raped so much?
also, can anyone tell me why one coil not sparking causes the other one not to, either?

guys

needs either x1 plug book, 10kR. or set of leads.

guesses?/ anyone got one in a box of shit under the bench?

I have one without plug caps somewhere, I'll measure the resistance tomorrow.
I might actually have four. Better check eh?

boots*

figuire i just need to replace the 47R cap with a spec one =9/10R then it all measures to spec...

[ducatilover]

I haven't got any spare boots that'll get up inside your bitch sorry, only got short ones. Fuck knows what I did with my spare ZZR coils
