Hello all!
Long time thread lurker here.
I've been chasing a problem with my 94' for over 2 years now. It began as an idle surging issue, developed into "laggy" throttle response and has ended in a lean back firing issue.
After replacing and testing and replacing and testing part after part, checking all my grounds, I finally did a compression test. These are my results:
8-148 7-152
6-152 5-145
4-147 3-150
2-150 1-140
I performed this cold due to having headers. I put some oil in 1 being the outlier and it rose to 150. Considering the engine has 180,000 miles and a questionable maintenance history, I am pretty happy with that.
I got sick of waiting for my ALDL cable to ship from RedDevilRiver so I cracked open the timing cover and found a nice surprise. The Ole man kept telling me it's a timing issue and that the chain is stretched. I'm thinking he was right.
Looking for input from others on their experiences with timing chain stretch.
Thanks!
