Question on Compression testing
Hi guys. I conducted a compression test on my 2.7 engine last night, but ran out of time before completing #6 cylinder (and what a PITA that #6 is by the way). If I go back to complete that last cylinder, can I leave all the other spark plugs in place while I test #6? Or do they all need to come out again? I wasn't sure if it mattered.
Also....after reconnecting everything last night and restarting the car, it seemed to be stumbling a lot and I could smell gas. Does this sound like I just didn't get a good connection on one of the plug wires? thanks!

Yes you can just do the one cylinder without removing the other spark plugs, just make sure you take measures to insure the engine doesn't start!
I would recheck to make sure you re-installed the plug wires in the correct order and that you got good connections on all of them.
