Maintenance Tests

[DanGST]

I want to give my car all the test. I know so far there is the boost leak, leak down, and compression test. How do I perform these test and all there more tests out there.

You should search for these.....To do a boost leak test, you need a boost leak tester. Search on how to make one, if you cant....MACH V sells one i believe. Leak Down test, you need a tester for that. Compression test, you need a tester for that. You can "rent" one from your local Advance Auto Parts or Autozone. You remove the MPI fuse so no fuel is being injected. Remove a spark plug, insert tester, Crank the motor 3 times and read what the PSI reading is.

You could also test your battery and charging system with a volt meter.

Is there a thread on here about each test?
