how can i tell if my noise/chug/miss is a stuck valve ? my truck idles rough but smoothes out when RPMs raise. the only problem i have with it is when im idleing. i need to crack the lines at my injectors to see if i have an injector problem but is there an easy way to tell if one of my valves are stuck ? would a compression check reveal this ?

thanks for the help

You unplug your injection pump to disable the engine from starting, and then you get someone to crank the engine while you listen at the exh pipe for a chuff. Good luck.
