My Daughter's 1995 Honda Odyssey will not start.
I tried to check the fuel pressure but I didn't have the proper fitting for the fuel rail. My make-shift adapter leaked a little, but I still read 30 PSI. I suspect that 35 PSI is minimum. I got my old timing light to flash from all 4 ports on the distributor. The spark plugs looked worn out, so I regapped them to .040. I turned over the engine while squirting starting fluid in the intake runner and got nothing. The compression was 85,65,65,65 PSI. This van has 166239 miles on the 4 cylinder motor. Any ideas ?
P.S. If your answer helps, I will gladly donate.

Thank you,
Glen

Upon rechecking the compression, I found one cylinder that was less than 30 psi. I squirted some oil in each cylinder and the compression went up somewhat. I put a little more oil in and replaced the spark plugs and tried to start it. It started and ran for several seconds. This tells me the rings are cracked, or the cylinders may not be round any more from over-heating too many times.
Has any one had any luck with compression restore products ? (oil additives) (if the rings are not broken)
Thanks,
Glen
