Why the RED DI-Casette, as far as I can see this is a B205 engine, which is supposed to have the T7 BLACK DIC. You can see its a b205 on how the oil filler cap is located to the passenger side of the engine. Maybe thats why it has caused this low compression. Quite possibly due to having detonation (red one on a T7 doesnt measure detonation and knock afaik)
RE-TORQUE THE HEAD-BOLTS!! Trust me that will be the problem if its missing them DI pack could be on its way out or Crank sensor, then pull the sump off and clean the strainer/oil-pan new o ring and your set :)
Hi. Thanks for the comment. Solved the issue by soaking each sylinder with ATF. This raised the compression enough to get it started and running on 3 sylinders. While running on 3 I sprayed a mist of water right into the throttle body while giving it some RPM. This in theory should steam clean the engine and getting rid of any carbon. And after a while, sylinder 4 came around and now it runs perfect.
@@TurboNerd1302 I would still re-torque the head bolts mate the B2*5 engines were known for it, don't put water into the intake that's not good, you could easily hydro lock it and bend a rod,Also T7 hates it when it dose not know whats going into the engine, re torque the head new plugs gap them to 0.9mm, check all pvc valves and vacuum pipes, to turbo too, then the sump, all the best
@@stemun4084 Yes, to much water will hydrolock, but only a small mist will not cause any damage. T7 cars are smart, and usually know what to do if anything out of the ordinary happens to them. Next step with this is down with the sump and clean the pickup and replace o-rings. And other maintenance stuff such as PCV. This is my 10th T7 car I've owned, so I do know my way around them.
@@TurboNerd1302 ok all the best my friend, i have had saabs for the last 40 years from 99 to 95's countless hybrid engines made and installed b2*4.5 which would solve ALL 93/95 issues, do that and you will only need to own 1 T7 car from then on.
How much PSI? I bet I have way lower than you. Max PSi it can bring with 4 revs is about 110, single rev about 50 psi, very slow buildup, but it stills runs great

Its a Black DIC, but the previous owner painted it red ;)
@@TurboNerd1302 oh, that would explain it, I was already very confused haha 😂
