Remove all the plugs. Hold the throttle butterfly wide open at all times. insert the gauge and hold until needle will not move any more (around 6 revolutions ). Record the reading and release the captured pressure in the gauge and repeat for the next cylinder. When finished get an oil can and put about 3 squirts in the cylinder and repeat the pressure test process. repeat with the oil in each cylinder as you do it. Get all your readings and see it the is a difference between the oil free readings and oil added readings The readings for the oil test should be up on those without oil and all readings should be no more than 10lbs /sq" between adjacent cylinders
results of the readings for example cylinder 1 pressure 160 cyl 2--100, cyl 3-100, cyl 4-160 indicates a gasket problem between 2 &3
Cyl 1-30 cyl 2-30 cyl 3-30 cyl 4-30 indicates bent valves

pre oil all cylinders 130 after oil all cylinders 150 indicates a ring problem (worn rings or worn bores -==worn out motor)

Most common problem causing this code is the purge solenoid. A quick smoke test will show if you have any leaks in the system. If no leaks and the fuel cap is installed properly it's the purge solenoid.

How to run a compression test on a 2003 dodge intrepid 2.7?

You should run a cylinder leak down test instead. If you run a compression test, you take out the spark plugs connect the pressure gauge to the engine in the spark plug hole and crank the engine. You want to make sure it does not start. Disconnect all the coils or remove all the spark plugs. NOTE that each cylinder may have different readings and this is normal. You are looking for big variances. It wont tell you if it is valves or rings though and a leak down test will.

Where is the PCM on a 2003 Dodge Intrepid SE

Most likely you can find it just in front of the transmission mounted just behind and on the bumper. Strange place for it but in that year dodge was putting them there. You'll see 2 connectors with bunches of wires going in.
