I had something similar like that happen recently. Compression was 155, 0, 155, 0. My situation was timing eccentric pulley bolt came loose. Belt was obviously loose though in my case.Car was driving fine and one day just ran funny, so I parked...
Okay perfect!! That sounds like a plan.I'll start with removing the cams and looking at the height of the valve stems.I will do further testing/buying tools if need be.Thank you
Sounds like a plan.
I have ordered a new timing tension tool (all my tools were stolen a year ago)I don't have any experience with leakdown test yet, but I will look into it and see if it's something I can afford/do.I also would like to check...
Thank you DSMPT, you have helped me many times in the past, and I trust your judgment extremely.If you were in this situation, would you fix the timing, and attempt to run it? Or would you go further into a deep dive, and check the valves/pull...
Okay that makes sense, I will mark them once I have it timed properly.Does anyone know if the cam gear jumping one tooth would bend the valves? I have extremely low compression, basically zero, but I'm not sure if that's from the timing being...
Okay thank you, the timing mark at the crank is set in those pictures.
I will try to get a better picture tomorrow.I noticed that it doesn't look like it has timing marks, I felt like it had them when I assembled it, but apparently not.
(Here...
Okay, sorry for the delay again, I have finally gotten another vehicle so I can take some time ane try to figure this out now.I have removed the top 2 timing covers, and a few other things (harmonic balancer)
And checked the timing marks, I am...
you guys are amazing, thank you so much for all the advise.I will confirm that the tester is working properly.I will remove the full timing cover and make sure the timing marks are all lined up, that could be the issue.also, that camera is...
Sorry for the delay, I just got around to checking some things on it (work has been killing me)I did a compression test, obviously the engine is cold, but the test still did not go well.my first numbers were this.1. 60
2. 45.
3. 20
3. 0I...
Okay, fantastic info!
I have removed the upper timing cover and inspected/felt the timing belt, everything looks proper there.
I will update with compression details once I have tested.
Oil and coolant were/are good.
I just ordered a compression tester. Since the engine will be cold, do you know what numbers I should be looking for? I will know if it's extremely low, and I can find my old numbers from when I first built the...
I finally got around to checking some things on the car.I pulled all the spark plugs and hooked them back into the wires, and layed them on the exposed metal on the valve cover, and got someone to crank the car, all 4 are firing in sequence...
Hmmm, okay that would make sense, I will check all the spark plugs as well.
I do hear the tic pulse from the injectors when I put a screwdriver on the and put my ear to it while someone cranks the car, is there anything else I should do to check...
Okay that sounds good, Its an old car and that definitely could be the case, I will go over everything in that area this afternoon and let you know what I find. Thank you sir
I did steal a vacuum line for my other car, but I replaced it before I attempted to start it, and I believe it was installed correctly, I will check both those things when I get home, thank you
Okay will do, and yes I have a gauge at the regulator.When cranking, it reads 42.5 or so (someone else was reading it while I cranked)I just tested the fuel pump manually (turning it on with DSMlink) and it does come on, and the pressure at...
over 2 months ago, I was sitting in the car (1997 eclipse GSX) Idling and it randomly died, I saw a fuel leak at the AFPR and thought the hose had given out, but when I took apart the regulator, the Diaphragm had torn, I have replaced the...
