    I owned one of these hhrs until I was t-boned at an intersection at 165,000 miles and I loved it. It was the easiest car to work on, got great gas mileage, was peppy for a 4 cylinder and handled great. The drawback isn't the eco tech engines, it's the transmissions with the sensors sealed in the case. I had to replace the forward sensor at 130,000 miles and after that it ran great. Best car I ever owned.

    Thanks for your time and explanation of the tests. A sad out come, I would rebuild it, but that’s me. With the price and availability of a new car, it would be worth it.

    2006 hhr with U0073 code. Any suggestions? Just replaced the plugs and coil packs, new battery, valve cover gasket, MAF sensor and a newly programmed TCM... cars ok when I start it, but after it gets warm, say I go into a store then re start it the code gets thrown. When code gets thrown it goes into limp/safety mode with no power and hard shifting pretty much in drivable. If I clear the code while it’s running it drives fine! So while I’ve been trying to figure it out and find time I’ve just been clearing the code after I start it. The code is a no communication bus a off. So it’s something that not communicating but only after it gets warmed up?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Low on cash and need to figure it out myself

    So the MAF sensor can make it backfire and misfire too?

    Thank you! May I ask what year this HHR is and where did you find that computer terminal? How long did you wait between adding the oil and performing the compression test again?

    About the time it takes me to put my compression tester back on and setting up to crank it over again for the testing

    WRONG..I BELIEVE the injector can be clogged causing indirect gas into cylinder..not enough to make a full compression..right?..could be possible

    If that was the case the spark plug would have been wet with fuel and had a strong smell of fuel. The cylinder was igniting and contributing but just not as much as the others. If what you are saying was happening there would have been obvious signs of rich unburned fuel. I’ve seen it before.

    I think you are very confused of what compression is by the way you worded your comment. The injection of fuel is not related to the making of compression. Compression is factor of cylinder volume and its ability to compress and seal the air being compressed. A fuel washed out cylinder (which I assumed maybe thats what you meant) will lower compression if left uncorrected but that definitely was not the case here because that scenario is pretty obvious.
