Compression Pressure

With engine at normal operating temperature, remove all glow plugs. Install special tool (Toyota 09992-00021) in glow plug mounting hole and attach a compression gauge. Disconnect wire at fuel cut solenoid. Crank engine at 250 RPM and measure compression.

CAUTION: Make sure glow plug wiring does not ground.
NOTE: Count number of revolutions it took for No. 1 cylinder to reach maximum compression reading and use same number of revolutions to determine compression on remaining cylinders.
