went out and bought the harbor freight tools diesel compression tester tonight. with all 4 glow plugs removed and the engine cold, tested compression through the glow plug holes. all 4 cylinders read right around 450. from what i have read, new spec was 425ish? any ideas? at any rate the compression seems to not be the issue? so most likely an injector issue?
