IF YOUR STARTER CRANKS THE ENGINE BUT IT WILL NOT START These are the basics that need to be tested and will give us the info required to isolate a cause. You also have to confirm that there an excessive exhaust back pressure issue. (Example a failed cat that's completely blockin the exhaust) Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 20, 2010, 4:35 PM Post #2 of 4 (1594 views) Re: Addition to Hammer Time Sign In That not only won't prevent the car from starting but would also show up in the compression test. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

You're exactly right again Hammer. That's why I brought it up in the first place. A Saturday morning warrior, or someone who's new to auto repair and armed with a compression tester could mistake the compression readings for a ring issue rather than a back pressure issue. Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 20, 2010, 4:49 PM Post #4 of 4 (1581 views) Re: Addition to Hammer Time Sign In That's not the point of that test. That is done to isolate the issues with spark, injector pulse, fuel pressure and compression. All the findings still have to be analyzed correctly to determine what really may be wrong with it. That just produces the info we need to start making a conclusion. Poor compression could be a lot more things that just those two. A timing belt is usually much higher on the suspect list for bad compression. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
