well.... its a little low, was it cold when you tested it? what kind of oil you havewas the motor ran recently? was the throttle body wide open?

did you have the CAS unplugged?

injectors firing and gasoline buildup in the cylinder could cause rings to improperly seat on the cyl. walls due to difference in viscosity b/w gas and oil.

doesnt seem too low to mei would worry about like 125-135
