Try a new tester. Are you sure you are operating it correctly... plugs out, throttle fully open, etc
Yes I'm sure; I did it how they taught me at school.

AllData stated in the specifications section (for my engine) that the normal compression is 8.5 bar (@~14.5 psi/bar = ~123 psi). Perhaps I miscalculated the conversion from 8.5 bar to psi...
