| First and foremost, compression is one of the three magic things he needs for that car to run. So, I think checking in order of their requirements is always a good plan. 1. Compression.
2. Fuel.
3. Spark. Anyhow. WHY is he leaking all that fuel? Because it isn't being burnt. Why isn't it being burnt? Because it isn't igniting. Why isn't it igniting in ONE hole is a different question than why isn't it igniting in ALL holes. I can understand a leak in to one hole - but a leak in all of them to the point so much fuel is going in it won't ignite?? Or you are thinking fuel pressure is too low? I don't think so it'd have to be a big leak. I used to have a fuel pressure guage hooked up to my car all the time. One day, I'm driving on the highway...and the guage magically pops off - I didn't know right away! So I have an empty hole pissing fuel out at full pressure and my car still ran. And it still idled. That's a big ass leak. It ran poorly, but hey, it ran! So it makes me wonder if he has no compression or no spark. I find it hard to believe all the holes are leaking. A compression test is easy to do while he has his plugs out, so I'm curious about the numbers and it eliminates that as a possible reason for why the fuel isn't burning. Gives him a nice fat check mark by one of the primary things required for that car to run.
