Open Question: 240v wiring questions 3-wire vs 4-wire.?

Hi, I bought a new air compressor and need to wire it in. The compressor is 240v and 18 amps. The pressure switch on the compressor has a place for 4 wires White/Black/Green/Red. I have 50' of a 10/3 outdoor power cable that someone gave me. The wires are 10awg White/Black/Green (no red) The wire is new but only has 3 wires. Is it possible to wire this compressor using a 240v 10/3 wire? If so how would I do it? And what are the advantages of say 10/4 vs 10/3? The 10/4 wire is $2.39 per foot. About $130 total for 50 foot. It would be nice to use the wire I have if possible and only if safe. thanks! I forgot to mention. I will be using an existing 240v outlet that also has 4-wires that was used for a dryer in the past. It is on a 30 amp breaker. The compressor is 240v not 220v I don't know if that matters or not.... How do I hook up the 3 wires to the 4 wire outlet? thanks

Open Question: What has failed? Is it the receptacle, the wiring, or the circuit breaker?

This duplex receptacle, on the ceiling in the garage, powers my garage door opener and a 30 ft retractable extension cord. It is on a dedicated 15A circuit labeled "Garage Door." I was working with a 1250 watt halogen lamp and a power drill on the 30 ft extension cord when the drill stopped, and the lamp went dim, flickered once, then went out. Power to the receptacle appeared to be dead. The garage door opener will not work. I checked all circuit breakers and ground fault interrupters. I tested the receptacle and placing one lead into each slot, I got ~84 volts. If I tested hot to ground, I got 120 VAC. I removed the receptacle from the ceiling. When I test the bare wires hot to neutral, i get ~84 volts AC. When I test hot to ground, i get ~120 VAC. If I turn off the "Garage Door" CB, all voltage drops to 0. Is this bad wiring? A bad neutral? A bad circuit breaker? I don't think this is a bad receptacle though. What could have caused this? Help! The wife is tired of opening the garage door by hand!
