Your videos are excellent. Just finished on my 2005 with 225,000 miles. 178 to 180 psi on all 4 cylinders. I'm relieved but my "crank no start" is still present. Fuses good, new fuel pump, new fuel relay, new coil packs, new plugs, new battery, alternator good, plugs are wet with gas, new crank and cam sensors, new map sensor, new throttle position sensor, new injectors, new idle air control valve, throttle body clean. Stumped. Hopefully not the wiring harness. Can't imagine since it was running fine and then no start all of the sudden. Thanks Danny !

Thanks again!
Performed compression test today. Fortunately it came out great: all four cylinders were between 175 to 180 psi.
Side note: Don't ask me how I know this, but if you reinsert the coils to prevent dust from getting into the cylinders - while you run an errand... and upon returning - you leave three in, while testing the first cylinder - well... The coils will launch like SpaceX rockets. 🤔

Thanks for adding this, I definitely won’t ask how you know this, (lesson learned)

I have a 2004 element 475,000 miles on it original engine. Motor mounts and suspension new. I’ve had this car only a year. And just drove it locally. No issues no leaks. Im confused as to why it is still running well. Just had a local mechanic do a compression test
#1- 160psi
#2- 170psi
#3- 160psi
#4- 180psi
The mechanic says the motor is in great condition. He is also stumped. He thinks that with so many miles it must have been towed behind an RV. Which would explain such high mileage with great compression. He was not real familiar with the element but he seemed to think it would be ok on a long drive.
What do you think?
