Am I missing something?

[stretch4660]

Trying to do a compression test on my 09 fg xr6t, got her all apart, coild and plugs out, gauge hooked up ready to go, turn the key and nothing happens, just a click of a relay (assuming starter relay? and no, there is nothing wrong with the relay)

 

What am I missing?

 

Something to do with that auto start crap.? How you flick the key and it'll crank the engine for you till it starts.?

 

little help would be awesome please ??

Remove the starter relay in the eng bay fuse box and bridge the relay terminal in the fuse box straight to the battery positive.

legend, thanks heaps. Last question I promise, which number do I bridge from the relay to the battery sorry? 2,3,4 or 5?

[Ralph Wiggum]

You can actually bridge 3&5. 

3&5 should be larger than the other two

Thank you for your assistance and your awesome knowledge kind sir.

Most efficient thread in at least a year!

We haven't had confirmation it worked yet - could have detonated the car and OP could be splattered.

 

 

edit: I guess then, either way - very efficient - I withdraw my question

[discostig]

No further questions your honour.

Hey, sorry guys, yeah worked a treat, ended up using terminal 5, compression varied slightly from 180psi in cylinder 1 and 2, and 175 for 3, 4, 5 and 6, so yeah not to bad for an engine with over 265,000km on her :D
