Hi guys, today i discovered that the plug to the purge valve (engine bay) wasn't connected properly (i guess when doing the compression test), when i plugged it in the P0443 and P0451 fault disappeared, will keep an eye on the P0451 because in the past that one would erase but came back. Still...

Ok guys, did the compression test and got some solid results #1 187 psi (helicoil cylinder) #2 185 psi #3 187 psi #4 185 psi #5 184 psi #6 188 psi I also measured the resistance of the helicoil insert and had the beep sound that there is resistance and it measured 0.2 ohms, what also are good...
