[DML] Re: #1 cylinder problems

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The way you have tested the wire is OK but you still cannot rule out
that the insulation breaks down under high voltage. You will not be
able to see if the boot breaks down inside the spark plug well. A
better test is to switch the wire with another and see if the trouble
moves. If you twisted and pulled on the wire "as hard as you could"
you should now throw it away, you have broken the inner core. You
cannot use the injector port to check compression, it only goes behind
the intake valve, not into the combustion chamber. Get a compression
tester that CAN fit into the spark plug hole. If the plug "carbons up"
SOMETHING (oil or fuel) is getting on it!
