NO. It may get you home, if you drive carefully and slowly, but you would need to get it checked out, may be fairly pricey

What causes no compression on one cylinder?
Your car is probably just effed up!
Why does your car slow down way to fast when you let of the gas?
because of the cylinder compression
What are the symptoms of a bad cylinder in a car?
A "Bad cylinder" or "dead cylinder" is a cylinder with Low compression psi. Symptoms: rough running low power can cause high oil consumption
What is the pressure of gas in cylinder during combustion?
Depends on the car. If it is naturally aspirated (no turbo or supercharger), then it's easy. Cylinder pressure = 14.5 (1 bar) * Compression Ratio. If however, it's forced induction: Cylinder pressure = ( 14.5 (1 bar) + Boost psi ) * Compression Ratio. For instance, in a naturally aspirated car with a 10.0:1 Compression Ratio : 145 psi = 14.5 * 10 Or in a turbo car with the unreasonably high 10.0 compression ratio with 10 psi boost : 245 psi= ( 14.5 + 10 ) * 10
What does the cylinder do on a car?
The gas is shot into the cylinder where it is compressed, then ignited. This causes the cylinder to move up and down within the cylinder block. As the cylinders move they turn the drive shaft which then provides power to the car.
Is it ok to drive a car with low compression?
depends if your blinker fluid is full then heck yea
What would happen if a cylinder broke in a car?
The cylinder would lose compression, causing the engine to lose power. I've personally never heard of a cylinder breaking, its usually parts near and around the cylinder that break, although if the block cracks, I guess that could be considered breaking the cylinder. The cylinder can also lose compression due to rust holes which can develop over time.
How do you increase the compression ratio of a 1996 Chevy caprice 9c1 police package car?
Change the pistons, or change the cylinder heads, or mill down the cylinder heads.
What would happen if don't fix my car from low compression?
Most engines lose compression over time, but each cylinder should have roughly equal compression. Even if compression numbers are not equal, however, it's usually not worth the expense to fix this.
Are 4 cylinder car engines numbered front to back?
If the car is a rear wheel drive , then ( YES )
What should the cylinder compression pressure be in a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer ES 4 cylinder 2.0L L4 engine?
Around 230psi. Minimum is 170psi. I have the same exact car.
