I was looking at 1 recently did a compression test and all the cylinders were around 160psi, from factory was 175ish apparently, so a bit of ring wear that was all.
Might be worthwhile as a preliminary check, but im sure a few more educated members could shed more light on things for you:thumbs:

When my car was missfiring on one cylinder the spark plug got all coked up and black, so maybe this engine was missfiring? Coilpack?
