    How old is it? How many miles? Got a good gauge?

    140 or so is fine across these engines, 160 is primo. 120 and it's time to look.

    Your concerns lie in how how well one cylinder relates to the other compression wise. Look for the balance.

    Symptoms yes but in most cases I'd rule that out.

    What's going on that has your concerned?

    No SES? "Some vibration"

    Can we try to localize that? I'll bet one mount is not 100% so let's keep your engine out of it for the moment.
