    id still be doing compression test.

    if a valve spring broke there would most likely be more than just a clicking noise. you'd hear the rocker clapping.

    the flashing cel most of the time is one hell of a misfire or a clogged cat will also make it flash.

    i second that... clogged cat made mine go nuts... flashing CEL like crazy... did the free misfire test to see if wires were arching, etc... (soapy water spray on the wires), wasnt the issue, took her to the dealer, and instantly knew it was the cat.

    Took a compression test cyl #4 shows 25lb Tested it 5 times, 1 time out of 5 it went to 100lb, could this be a collapsed lifter? and still not be noisey, is there anything I can try to free the lifter?
