2008 Yukon. 214,000 miles. P0303 code. Mechanic swapped #3 with #5 plug and #3 wire with #7 and #3 coil with #1. They then performed compression and leak down test. Cyclinder #3 = 100psi. Cylinder #1 = 180psi. Further leak down test on #3 and found 82% leakage. Air escaping through intake and exhaust. Nothing leaking into engine according to mechanic. Mechanic recommending full engine replacement.
Settled up with mechanic ($300) and drove home and then drove another 20 miles or so. Yukon is running fine now. No engine light. I suspect that is just temporary or not?
This mechanic has been great to us over the years. Throwing this out to the community here to see if anyone has other suggestions besides full engine replacement.
