* Engine wear: Older engines with more miles will naturally have lower compression than newer ones.
* Engine condition: Issues like worn piston rings, valve problems, or head gasket leaks will significantly reduce cylinder pressure.
* Testing method: The method used to measure cylinder pressure (and the equipment used) will influence the readings.
Instead of a specific number, you should consult your vehicle's repair manual. This manual will provide the *acceptable range* of cylinder pressure for your specific year and model of S-10. This range will usually be expressed as a minimum and maximum pressure in PSI (pounds per square inch).
Without knowing the year and specific engine code of your S-10, it's impossible to give you a precise number. Using a repair manual specific to your vehicle is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
