How Do You Perform A Compression Test On The Engine In A Plymouth Voyager?
The Plymouth Voyager contained both 4-cylinder and V6 engines and was only in production until the 2000 model year. As the engines become older, parts inside wear out and the minivan runs poorly, burns oil or loses power. A compression test is a helpful way of diagnosing these problems, such as worn cylinder walls, piston rings and valves. Prepare by warming up the engine in the Plymouth Voyager. Running a compression test on a cold engine will not be accurate. Make sure that the battery is also in good condition prior to the test, since it will need to spin the engine several times. Disable the ignition system in the minivan to prevent electrical shock during the test. Remove the spark plugs and check them for damage, since that is a sign of trouble within the cylinder. If the Plymouth Voyager has a V6 engine, there will be six spark plugs, but if it has a 4-cylinder, there will be only four. Choose a spark plug hole and insert the compression tester.
