    Is there anyone in or around Ottawa, ON who can loan me a compression tester (with 10mm fitting) for a bit? I've got a '91 that is suddenly idling on three cylinders.

    Also willing to accept suggestions for other ways to beg, borrow, or get the use of a tester.

    Good suggestion. We did just get our first Autozone here in Ottawa. They only loan a tester with 14mm and 18mm threads. If anyone knows where I can borrow one with 10mm threads for or vfr I'm all ears. I haven't been able to find one yet.

    I'm in Kemptville and I have a tester. Let me check to see if it is 10mm or not and I will get back to you.

    Where are you in Ottawa?
