PROBLEM PLEASE HELP!!!
was drinving my car yesterday and noticed a great loss in power. the car even struggled to set off, (sort of felt like it wasn't firing on all cylinders but it was, i replaced distributor, ht leads and sparkplugs today to see if this sorted the problem but didn't)
I removed the oil cap on the rocker cover and loads of smoke kept coming out.
please help someone i need to find out what the problem is, i have a complete spare car in the garage inc engine so sorting the problem shouldn't be a problem. I just cant afford to go to a garage to this checked out has i have no money
cheers in advance everyone!!!!!

Re: (Sketch_hs)
probably sound like a dick now but i dont know how to do a compression test. I changed the timing belt the other day and the timing was way out, could the bad timing of caused this???

if smoke came out it's possible u roasted the valves...
do a compression test asap
you have to buy teh guage, it plugs into where the spark plug goes, then u have to pump gas and try to start it (w/ all the plugs taken out)
That's a bad descript, but that's the basics, I'm sure wherever you find a compression tester you can find a better explanation

Re: PROBLEM PLEASE HELP!!! (wez)
had a compression test done at a garage and all was fine but thats all i could afford to do. Is there any sensors on the car that could be causing the problem???
