there is one i guess the light is on but i cant check it
i put the key on acc and the light turns on and 4 sec it turns off n it does NOT come on
when i start the engine the light come on and off normal but 10secs later the light comes on..

the only way to check for codes is if the car is off right??

It could be that your piston rings are going bad also if it smells like gas you should check your oil just to make sure thier isn't gas passing through the rings

I would drain the oil and see if its bubbley/Milky lookings... if it is that means there's antifreeze in your oil and your headgaskets gone... or you could have like 3 qrts too much lol i did that in my old mazda mx3 when i was 15

That motor is shot and needs a rebuild

what you can do is remove the distributor then you will be able to check the oil that leaks out, if it is gas you will smell it

i heard if the head gasket is blown and you take the radiator cap off and you turn the car on the water should jump out because of the compression leaking out and in my car is not doing that

you need to do a leak down test and figure out the problem before you start to tear anything apart.

if you have to ask, better get yourself a haynes manual or something.
Or just pay a professional to do it.

yes and I have seen more bad compression test numbers from people doing it wrong than I can count, just the fact that all 4 are low is rare and there are other things that can cause low compression not just rings. I would never tear down the block untill I did a leak down test and know exactly what the problem is.
