I think I eliminated the most potentially expensive item with the compression test...The numbers I got are REALLY good for what I understand. 210, 215, 220, 215. The vacuum tester I'm still not super sure about how to use but it's still only pulling 14-15 inches of vacuum at idle...Is it possible for the compression to be fine but the cams still be out, and would that have an impact on the vacuum pressure?
