hey there,im new to this site, i just registerd and i am really hoping that some1 can help me with my ca, its running well until it warms up then it starts to miss and its has no boost till bout 4600rpm,but its an intimitant miss, not regular,i checked the compression on all four plugs and 1,2,4 are 110, and 3 is 115, so thats good but i cant figure out what it would be,has anyone else had similar problems?please let me know if you have,thanks heaps!!!!!

110 -115? Sounds pretty damn low to me.

headgasket maybe.. start the car with radiator cap off and let it warm up if it spews like a gyser then headgasket gone... mine used to do that and had similar compression then it just went out... do some searches on overheating and headgaskets.. that may help you. search works pretty gewd.. 80 percent of my problems have been resolved with it
