Roncallo,
You're saying what I've said for years. High compression does not mean a healthy engine. As far as gas engines are concerned I have never seen much value in a compression check inless the car had running problems, and I'm looking for dead cyls. If you have a car that starts well, idles smoothly, and performs ok, but has higher or lower than specs compression, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to spend a fortune to rebuild the engine so you have normal compression redings?

Llblkbnz,
It does sound like FD problems, but the problem may be from under fueling rather than over fueling. There is a little screen in each hole the injector line connects to. Perhaps that one is restricted. I would try hooking up to one of those machines at a repair facility that runs your car on a recycled solution of one gallon of fuel with a cleaner added. Your engine is disconnected from the fuel tank. These cleaners work well.
