Compression was good. I did a 4 puff test which GM suggested. I was unable to see the gauge until I stopped the test. A GM tech on another forum said he has seen this twice in the past. One was a bad PCM to ground wire. The other was a bent/broken valve spring. Compression can still be good with a bent/broken valve spring per what he said. It is just something I would notice on the 1st puff, not after 4. Of course he tells me that now.

I appreciate the offer! Harrison is approx. 2 hours+ away from me. My zip is 19380. That's a long drive in this car with the way it is currently running.
