That's about the life of the '04's. Mine went to 86K and I yanked it out myself. So I say you might fail.

Sorry for not updating sooner, but yeah it failed.
They told me compression was low on rotor 2, the number they gave me was 75.
They then told me i needed a new engine and that i need to have bills from previous oil changes.
Since i bought the car used i only had 2 receipts :s but they ended up approving the replacement.
The engine took about 2.5 weeks to arrive and about 1.5 days to install.

Got the new engine in now and the car runs great!

I recommend anyone having the symptoms described above to pay for a compression test because they will keep nagging you about your spark plugs and coils/wires. They even told me once that my car wasnt running well because one plug was not plugged in! which is total BS.

Save yourselves the headaches and ask for a compression test, even if you have to pay for it. just make sure your car is stock before.
