Why would you need to do a compression test if the coils sorted it out ?

So whenever you get a car in with a misfire you check the compressions, bit pointless.

Really.

Well I was trained correctly, and dont just replace parts because you think they need replacing.

Everyone thinks these computers tell you the cause. They read fault codes, that is the effect. I find the cause.

To do a compression test on a car takes no time at all. And knowing the s54, a compression test is a good idea.
