ok my distributor went on me the other day right after i put sea foam in my motor to clean it out. i put my friends distributor on my car to make sure that was the problem and the car started right up. 2 days later i got a new distributor and put it on the car and now the car sounds like it has no compression. it turns over really fast and it sounds the same without the spark plugs in it as it does with them in. i havnt touched the car since i started it up with my friends distributor and it ran fine. i cannot think of wat could possibly hav went wrong because i didnt do anythhing to the car. anyone have any suggestions

Do a compression test to make sure.

you may have put the dizzy 180 degrees off on the timing. the plugs aren't fireing when they are supposed to. what is the car?

 

its a 2001 ls in a 92 hatch so i already checked if i put the dizzy on backwards. i put it o both ways and i got the same thing

 

Do a compression test first.

If all is good, then put your friends distributor back on and see what happens.

 

im gonna hav to wait to do that till tomarro but is there anything else anyone can think of. has anyone heard of this happening b4?
