Usually, the biggest cause of a loss in compression is either worn or cracked piston rings, and the only way to restore the compression is by replacing them. Another cause would be a damaged or stuck valve, again you'd have to replace it to remedy the problem.
Check the serpentine belt. If it's loose it will make a terrible noise.
No but they are torqued on at 125 to 130 ft. lbs and as a result, very hard to get broke loose.
First find where the 99 Rodeo is leaking fuel from. Check for loose or cracked fuel lines. The leak needs to be found before driving the vehicle, as the leak could cause a fire.
could be a broken valve. or a loose spark plug..
You are probably going to have to replace the wiper arm. Go to a good salvage yard and get one off a decent looking wreck.
its a vague question but i think you need to separate the transmission from the engine they are connected with a splined shaft and they must be pulled straight apart before removing
A simple continuity test will do, check for continuity from the antenna to the plug. Not much goes wrong with these though I would look at the plug connection at the back of the stereo sometimes they are loose and come apart.
I would like to find the answer to this question as well. I am in the middle of doing just that and I am finding it to be a very involved project because the axle gets in the way of the ball joint removal once you have it all loose and ready to remove.
loose connections or the air being forced into a smaller fitting (compression) then forced through the grille
blown head gasket,it causes the coolant and gas get mixed in cylinder,that cause the white smokeyou also loose compression which in return you loose power
AnswerOn my 1992 Rodeo with a V/6, I removed the starter first; removed pan bolts ; and took steering linkage loose. Then my pan came right straight down.If its a 4 wheel drive, you have to at least lower the front axle to gain access to the front pan bolts, or pull the engine. The front axle has 4 bolts holding it to the frame if I remember correctly.
The causes of loose abdominal muscles include extreme weight loss and pregnancy.
