cyl 1-175 cyl 2-170 cyl 3-150 cyl 4-120 what does this mean i cant fine the specs for this car
the reason i did the test the rpms wants to drop down and wont go above 2 grand even when u hit the gas the only codes it reads is multiple misfire and now sometime its hard to start
 
cyl 4 probaly wont last an extreme amount of time longer. the main thing is that there all within around 15psi at least of each other but 120 is near 50 from the others. Go ahead and drive but when trouble strikes itll more than likely be in the 4th cyl and itll go out first.if you run a leak down test in cyl 4 then you could tell if its a simpler fix like valve seals and if its rings
 
you are still within operating specs for this car all though there are some differences in the amounts. as long as you have at least 110 lbs of compression you are ok.
