Default compression test result

i just did a compression test because my car has felt horrible in first gear mainly, lack of power and hesitating.

i had previously replaced the plugs which got rid of the hesitation and backfiring in 2 and 3rd gear, but 1st still seems horrible.

my results are, from the firewall to the front bumper. 220, 200, 225, 220.

sorry this is my first compression test and i dont know if this is a big enough difference to be worried about?

thanks

sounds like you might need to do a "map wack" but those results seem normal.

i did some more research and found that shouldnt be more than a 10% difference between any cylinder, which makes my results ok. but i put oil down my low spark plug and redid my compression test and it went to 220.

reading online, it says that i have a worn ring/cylinder . sorry for being worried, its just my car feel like my old car felt right before i blew a cylinder
