Car Problems as So....

Bad Rings

Car ran fine, except for burning of oil due to the rings when suddenly I started having loss of power. THis was last week. THen this week still continuing loss of power, I drive it on the high way and it begins to die. Car will not turn over. Fuel pump is priming, no CEL going on either. Change plugs, wires and distributor with no success. I am changing the fuel filter now.

What could be the problem???

Also could the exhaust be backing back into the engine, I have a silencer on my muffler.

Thanks in Advance

do a compression test.

Already know that Cylinder two is bad due to the oil on the spark plug

my car was doing almost the same thing when my ignition coil went out

I have tried two different Distributors, so its not the coil. Alternator is good, Battery and Fuel Filter are good. Its getting air. ECU is good. Starter is good, only thing left is the freaking Injectors

Bump,

Checked timing, is on, getting fuel, spark and when i try to start it, and give it full open throttle, it seems like it wants to start but doesnt.

Help. Tried 3 different ECUs also.

As already mentioned, compression test the cylinders.

oil on the plug could also be a bad spark plug seal.

was the car cold when you did the test?
all plugs were out?
battery had juice for strong crank?

Car was summer temperature, all spark plugs were out, and i used a FRESH Battery for the crank. I ran the test several times.

Explains everything, the ring probably just went out thus, no compression. Only plug that had dust on it was the 3rd one, which means 1,2,4 were doing nothing.
