ok well i had some problems that i posted earlier this week. car stumbled throttle response sucked coolant light was on car started running hot. any way i did a compression check and all cylinders were between 130 and 139... when i did start it i heard a squeal from the engine bay but wasn't sure what it is. i have an airlock in the system i didnt' get rid of yet but i dont believe taht would affect the throttle response. any ideas?

130 - 139 is low.

When you performed the test, was the engine cold?
did you have the throttle body at WOT ?
after performing the test dry, did you add a little oil to each cyl and test again?
