Want this question answered?
A cracked or broken piston will cause a loss of compression, as will cracked or broken rings. The failure of a head gasket will also cause a loss of compression, as will broken, cracked or badly worn valves or valve seats. A crack in the cylinder itself (either the sleeve or the engine block), or a crack in the head itself will cause a loss of compression. A problem with the plug threads or the threads in the head (for engines that have plugs) can cause loss of compression, and injectors (for engines that have them) can leak around the threads, either because the injector threads or the threads in the head have been damaged.

NO!
The most common cause for a Mercedes-Benz not to start is a dead battery. Try charging the battery to see the automobile will start.
Compression, the rings sealing properly? get a compression tester and follow the instructions.
help me same problem
No spark No fuel No compression
probably dont have any compression. take spark plug out and put your thumb over the plug hole as you try to kick start it. if no air shoots out then its a compression problem
It needs fuel, compression and spark, you are missing one of those.
No fuel or no spark or in rare instantances no compression
The engine needs fuel, spark and compression to run. You are missing one of those. Do a compression test. If you have no compression you may have a timing chain related problem. If it passes, check the spark plugs, see if they are wet or dry. Dry would indicate no fuel, wet would indicate no spark.
After extensive diagnosis of fuel and ignition system, I solved my 1996 Tacoma hot start problem by having the valve clearances set properly. Tight valves cause compression loss and hard starting when the engine is hot.
