Default compression test

<<Do a compression test on the motor whenever you get a couple of minutes. My old 95 GSR did that, and when I did the comp test, my cyllinders were doing 200 psi (good), except for one, which was doing 120 (very bad). Find out your compression, and go from there.>>

i have the same problem on my '95 gsr. when sitting in traffic and the gas pedal slightly depressed the engine doesnt know whether to go or stop. how do i do a compression test?

im gotta do that anyway cause i put in a testpipe and i may have jacked up the O2 sensor anyway...from the 94-97 there is only one but the newer ones have 2 casue of the OBD2 setup...but u can get them at local stores or at honda...but there are different types, honda wants like 300 for the original and like bosch wants like 50 for a generic...my new question is: is the generic gonna do the same job as the expensive one?
