Well, I was driving on a highway at about 90 mph, I came to a stop as I reached a light. Then as I started to accelerate ( somewhere around 60 mph ) the engine basically died off so I pulled into a gas station and sat for about 10 minutes then tried to start it again, it started. Idle fine to boot, then I gave it an inch of gas and it died again, It start back up after that. It cranks though, with no sounds of valves knocking..


So I think that when I started it again, and tried to give it gas, It just increased the hole. Thus causing my compression to be wack.


Anyone have other idea's?

 

Is there water in the oil or vice versa???

 

Any codes?

 

It could be your distributor, i had to replace mine when i had that problem. Check the ECU and see if its throwing any codes.

 

I checked the ECU right when I pulled over, No codes, non the less I reset it anyway, Still the same thing. I cant really tell if theres water in the oil. I just recently did an oil change. From what I can see I dont see any oil in the radiator. And the distributor was just replaced 3 months ago.

 

If you split the head gasket between the cylinders oil will not be in the coolant and coolant will not be in the oil, you will loose compression in that cylinder. Which its unlikely your head gasket blew in 3 spots. Do a compression test to see though. When the car died, did it completely die or did it stumble.

 

sounds like the old main relay problem (car dies, wait a while, then it starts ok again). could be that or a bad igniter. i doubt a blown headgasket would cause your car to suddenly die. usually it causes lots of white smoke to pour from your exhaust first.

 

personally i don't think its a headgasket problem i've been through 2 headgaskets adn it doesn't sound like you blew one. more like the main relay

 

Nah, about 5 months ago I had the main relay to, I resoildered it and its worked fine since. Besides, When my cabin warms up, it still doesnt start. I Just replaced the distributor, is it likly the ignitor is bad already? THe car just continiously cranks over..

 

do compression test and let us know the resultes

 

Check for spark and fuel.

 

Well, My compression was 180 on cylinders 2 3 and 4. and 165 on cylinder 1. However, Cylinder 4 has no spark, I just replaced the wires and the plugs are fine. Ill try the distributor tomorrow

 

Still no spark. ...

 

replace your rotor and cap on the dizzy then try again

 

Well, I replaced the cap and Rotor today, and I made sure everything was installed correctly, and it almost starts, It sounds like its about to start but it just doesnt..

 

up


Timing is fine..

 

I feel really stupid and foolish, I didnt even check to hear the sound of the fuel pump. When I did I heard nothing. doh! Walbro 255 =] here i come

I do all types of valve covers, you just need to send me them. Unless I can get a hold of some

 

Maybe you should check your ground wires.
