Do you have an air/fuel ratio meter. Mine was reading lean and spitting black stuff out the tail pipe. The O2 sensor on the header was bad and the computer was richening the mixure. Gas mileage was around 17. 28mpg now. Just a thought.

i went to auto zone and had my check engine light tested and they said it was an o2 sensor. Do you think this could be it? Also someone told me to reset my ecu. would that work?

ORIGINAL: newguy2007

i finally did a compression test on my car. The psi is supposed to be like 178 and mine is 150. I changed the plugs and ran it pretty hard and found a small miss in my turbo. So now i have new plugs, low compression, still a lot of smoke and a small miss in the turbo.

Any ideas on what it could be?
Like what emonz57 what were the compression readings on the other 3 cylinders? Also did you do a wet compression test to eliminate if its a ring problem. And what is a "miss" on the turbo?
