Default Some misfire problems.. need some help

Hey guys,

I own an 2000, s2000 with 50,xxx miles and I've noticed some misfiring going on. I replaced the plugs, had a valve adjustment done, cleaned the map sensor and have tried using my friends coils, and still nothing. I have all 4 codes on each cylinder. I did a compression test they all checked in at 160 on the dot. and ideas?

Thanks.

Could be a crank sensor, or perhaps a fuel delivery problem.

No as long as all 4 cylinders are 160. Consistancy is key.

this is true. but your motor wont make as much power as a motor that had 210 across the board.. did you buy this car used? it sounds like the car may have been forced inducted at one point and may still have an aftermarket head gasket installed. what do you know about the car?

car was used, but i bought it completely stock. It still goes like crazy to, it might have even been a bad compression tester that was used.
