Hello, I am new to this site and have found the responses very helpful, however I have not found a similar response to my problem.
I have a 1994 GEO tracker, 1.6L, 8v.
1. Disconnecting the wire from the coil to the distributor
2. Removing a spark plug one at a time
3. Connecting the compression tester
you skipped a step8?, wide open throttle block open the throttle, so it can breath air.

4. Cranking the engine until the needle stabilized.
5. Replace the spark plug and continuing from steps 2-4 until all the cylinders were checked.
The range was 105-110psi for all cylinders. (clear sign the timing belt threw, its a 60,000 mile service)
looking at spark will be useless, as its now way off. (belt slip) do not change spark timing.
spec is: (factory
The 8v is 170 PSI. warm or hot
cold will be over 150.
if not?, the belt has slipped so do the sneak a peek? check>?
