i was driving and suddenly my car was hesitating and it was back fireing like crazy and the car was losing power and then i pulled to the side and . i tryed starting back up and then it wouldnt start again. u could here it want to start and it wouldnt. i did a compression test 1 n 2 cylinder were in range of 180 plus the thrid cylinder read at 95 which is not good and the four one read good at 186. i dont think that is the reason why my car wont start? . iam getting fuel cuz u can smell it, so wut do u guys think could be wrong??????????.

 

Check your timing belt.

 

timing belt seem good and nice n tight . plus i got it replace not to long ago. could u think it could be my distrbitor ?

So what if it's tight, you need to make sure it didn't jump any teeth or anything. It can also be tight in one area and loose in the other.

I don't think it's your distributor at all, you say there is 95 compression on one cylinder which doesn't have anything to do with the distributor.

You need to start with the basics: fuel, spark, compression & timing and go from there double checking each thing.

 

its getting spark, cuz i test it , it could be my fuel pump going bad,,, funny thing when it was running rought as **** and backfireing flames and loseing power which made me pull over there was no check engine light ?

 

IF YOU HAVE 95 COMPRESSION ON ONE CYLINDER IT IS NOT YOUR FUEL PUMP. Did you read my previous post?

 

oo ok so then wut would be the first thing i should do ?

 

double check timing. look at the arrows on the cam gears and see if they're perfect

 

k ill will do that . but say its not the timing belt , what would cause it not to turn over?

 

Did you run a compression test on all cylinders?
Check to see if you are getting fuel...

 

99% says IGNITOR

 

yea i ran the compression to all 4 cyclinder and it all seem good. i thinging it could be my distributor cuz it wants to crank . plus iam pretty sure iam getting fuel but ill double check...

 

u mean my distubritor?

Why do you keep repeating distributor over and over again? No one thinks it's the distributor because no one has said it. The IGNITOR is an electronic piece inside the distributor that is removable and replaceable, that is what he was referring to.

 

lol. look man i just want to fix what is really wrong thats why i asked, i just thought if i asked cuz people telling me it your fuel ingector, fuel pump timing belt and all that **** u feel me.
