Engine Compression!!!

Hey Brothers.

I have 130 k on mine and 2 days ago checked the compression. It turned out to be 160. which is in the normal range of 130-170. WOW! Our engines are awesome. Nine years and it is still like new.

Has anyone done that? What's yours?

Now, if compression is fine, why does the car still feel a little sluggish? (all fluids, sparks, filters and PCV Valve have been changed)

Hope to hear back

mike- it could be something simple, since you've done maintenance. try a bottle of Lucas fuel injector cleaner in the tank. with the mileage i think there may some buildup of varnish that a mild cleaner will work on. if not take next step, have it checked out.

p.s. you do use 93 octane, right??
