fuel pressure should be around 60 iirc and you need a rotary comp tester to get a good reading on compression. you can get an idea with a normal gauge but its not accurate

so apparently this is a common problem
same thing is going on with my 04 MT
I changed the coil packs and cleaned the MAF. still wont idle and dies when in neutral/at a stop. from what ive researched, it could possibly be the air pump or the relay. is this rite? how could I test/check either?

Tanks for helping guys well the fuel pump pressure did remuve the seat and unplugged the gas line then add a little imagination and add old part because it doesn't have a place to checkppressure on the car at less tha i know and then the compression i used a regular tester it reads 155 but call a mechanic and he tested it and he said is eexcellent the check the spark on the coils and 2 off theme iget a good spark and on the other 2 is little but replace all and cables sparkspplugs crankshaft sensor battery air pump and relay

check fuel pressure under the hood. theres two hard lines not far from the oil filter. one has a red clip and the other is blue. its recommended to replace them if you remove them. the red on is the one you want to connect the pressure gauge to iirc.
when you checked comp with the regular tester did you take out the valve? after you do that you should see three even pulses on the gauge

Please keep to just 1 thread discussing the problem, breaking up the discussion in different threads all over the forum is only going to cause confusion for everyone. I moved the rest into this thread.
