Alright, I just got a compression tester. It came with an adapter for 14mm long reach plugs... do I need it?? I don't think I do, but I don't know for sure. Thanks
 
alright, and what do i need to unplug on a 2G?? I know that thing next to the coilpack, but is there anything else?? The MPI fuse? Thanks... Oh and I've seen the VFAQ (the dsmgrrrl one), but that looks like a 1g...
 
me personally i never unhooked the coil pack thing, just pulled the mpi fuse, i think the whole point of the other thing is, not to shock yourself with a live wire??
go get testing should take like 10 minutes, post those numbers!
 
Well I cant even find the MPI fuse. :( Ahh, well anyways, I'm scared to do it now, I just took one spark plug, the second one, and there was oil on the washer and to top was charred black and the tip was white. Crap... Means bad rings right?? Do I have to rebuild, or can I just do the rings?
 
im pretty sure the mpi fuse is in the 2nd row and like 4th one fromt he left, it should say on the cover though

dont be such a wuss, LOL, the mpi fuse ona a 1g is right under the battery terminal, there is 3 other fuses along side it, mine is blue in colour, 20A.
go out there, find the fuse, it will also be marked, pull it out, pull the plug stick ur tester in there go WOT, crank it 4-6 times, and bada bing bada boom all the info youre dying to find out.
oh ya take it for a good drive before hand, so engine is warm, and battery is charged.
