I don't *think* that would give this specific code. In fact my original 'old school' thinking was the same as yours and my first step was to do a compression test, but I struggled to find a tester with a small enough adapter for the 185 (which I think is a lot smaller than the 163?). Then I got diverted by Vida being able to do a pseudo-compression test, which showed no problem.
There may still be a mechanical fault when I get rid of the electrical ones....
