Reply to "Fuel pressure ok?"

True it would have been best to remove all the plugs and then test, but I'm half way through now so I figure I should follow the same procedure since I am really looking for any strong variance. In my car anyway its a true pain in the crotch because the plug holes are so deep and I'm trying to be extra careful not to cross thread the aluminum or get the compression socket stuck so I can't reach it. Took me almost two hours to fish the tool out of one cylinder and I'm not tightening either. My compression tool comes with a stiff braded hose making things even more difficult to turn it in tight spaces, but its what I have on hand at the moment. So I put the compression socket in first then thread in the hose. In hindsight for anyone doing this, I would think the more flexible rubber hose would be easier to angle & turn. For the spark plugs I found that using a small piece of rubber hose on the end of the sparkplug at least helps me reach further too.
