compression test

[xjynxx]

I compression tested my eclipse today and I got all the way through it and I forgot to open the throttle wide open and I did not get another chance today because it just got dark is it okay to test with out wide open throttle or do I need to redue it tommorow and can it throw the numbers off that much, Im hoping not because the compression was good and I dont really have the money to tear it down and rebuild

It shouldn't be drastic, but it will affect the numbers. I wouldn't worry too much, just do it again.

if anything it would cause your numbers to be low since your car didn't the air for the compression in the cylinders.

^^ I'm not sure if that's correct. I thought the pedal needed to be on the floor b/c the injectors will not deliver fuel when cranking at WOT. The fuel could seal up potential leaks. I could be wrong though, maybe it's a combination of both or I'll fail my next drug test.
