Compression Check: Specifications

AllData Editors Note - Ford does not provide a cranking pressure specification, only an acceptable range.

The compression pressure check should be performed with the engine at normal operating temperature with spark plugs removed, wide open throttle, and the coil pack connector disconnected. Compression pressure should be 170-207 psi.
