Sorry I missed your post! I would not have gotten the answer right, as you already stated that you replaced the MAF. I am going to have to start asking where the parts come from - like O2 sensors, etc.

As to the low compression, they are all TOO low. Check the compression again, but this time do it when the engine is warmed up a bit. If you check it cold and you leave the injectors turned on, you wind up washing the cylinders with gasoline and washing the oil off the rings. A cold piston and rings also will not have expanded enough to give you a good reading.

Find someone with VADIS to read the mileage on your car and then fix the Odo. I don't want you to wind up with a broken timing belt.
