Compression tests should be done with the engine "hot", and the throttle should be blocked wide open, so I suggest you redo it properly. The absolute numbers are not as important as the variation between cylinders.

I don't understand what your "air" test is. A conventional leakdown test is probably what you want to do. Leak down tests can be more informative than compression tests, but it's not a bad idea to do both.

Also, it would help if you would expand on "running rough". Cold idle? Hot idle? Cruise? Acceleration?

Acceleration is terrible it just stumbles. Also the air test is like a leakdown test. I have a leakdown tester but its worthless. Either I dont know how to do it or it just doesn't work well. As far as holding the throttle open do I need to disconnect the fuel lines?
