Northstars should hold between 140 and 170 PSI. The number is not so important as the balance between all eight readings. They should be within 4 or 5 psi of each other.

The balance answer is right but 150 to 160 is what I've usually seen on Northstars. If it's higher than 170, carbon buildup is always why. Unless they all are, then you have high compression pistons.

1999 jaguar xj8 losing compression from flooding?

If you have lost compression on several cylinders, and the car will not start, then its a cleaning problem and not a mechanical problem. The intake valves have got dirty and cannot seal very well, take off intake manifold and clean valves at the seat area. This should bring compression back. Usual cause is a commute of a mile or two, not allowing for complete engine warm up, lots of gook condensed in intake manifold. Richard
