ok im doing a compresion test on a 97 celica and just about everything that could go wrong has.

first i pulled out the spark plug wires and it broke. i even used a spark plug wire remover. so then the metal peice was stuck on the spark plug so that the plug socket wasent deep enough to get out the plug. i finally got out the plugs and started testing the compresion. so far i have gotten 130, 150, and 180. on the 3rd cylinder the compresion tester is now stuck. the rubber part is just spinning.

so does enyone have a book that can give me the speck for a compreshen test?

have water in your oil? smell that horribly sweet smell of coolant? lack of power? you may have a blown headgasket. and if you do, i'm very sorry for you : (
