i was driving through my apartment complex and my talon randomly started to miss. i parked it and pulled the spark plug wires to see which cylinder it was. when i pulled number four the idle didnt change. its got spark to the plug and it has fuel. pulled the plug and it was covered in fuel and a little bit of oil. i swaped number three and number four spark plug and it was still number four that had a miss. i also swapped injectors.
compression test. cylinder 1-178psi 2-165psi 3-165psi 4-175psi.
when it ran right, if it idled for a bit and then i snaped the throttle it burned oil, a little puff of blue smoke came out the tailpipe. i believe thats valve seals right?
on decel it sounds normal. but on throttle it misses. its a complete miss, it doesnt sputter or anythin its just a dead cylinder, it has a miss at idle, but it idle stays normal.
i am also doing a cylinder leak down tomorrow.
i hope i was detailed enough. imput would be great.
