I was browsing looking for others who may have had issues like mine and found a few things but I'll recap and see what thoughts you guys might have.
2000 DII w/ 101K miles
My wife uses this as her daily driver so I don't drive it as much as I used to. I filled up with gas the other day and then drove it again after a bit. It used about a half of tank of gas with only about 110 miles on the trip. I thought it had been getting worse milage lately but that was a shock to me.
Anyway, it was admittedly overdue for plugs and wires so I did those and I've noticed a bit of a tick thats been getting a little worse. So I did a compression test when I did the the plugs. 7 came back at about 155psi but my #1 came back at only 125psi. This also seems to be the side the tick is on. So with the poor milage, compression test results, and the noise I'm a little worried about what this might be.
So far I've done:
Plugs & Wires
SeaFoam in the intake (the neighbors love it when I do that).
After SeaFoam I changed the oil and filter replaced on quart of oil with AFT and have about 50 miles since that ( I was going to go about 100 and change it again).
Lucas Fuel sys cleaner in the gas.
Now the ticking seems like it may have gotten worse? It seems to be running ok, maybe a little bit of a hesitation or rough but my daily driver is a lux/sport car so maybe I'm just paying too close attention to what's wrong with the disco??
I'll stop there so this doesn't get so long that nobody reads it, but I guess my concerns are the noise and the #1 compression being lower.
I'd like to really take care of any carbon problems and rule that out, but I'm not sure what else to try. Any thoughts would be helpful.
