What will cause no cylinder compression?
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.

Could be the transmission, tune up, fuel filter or a loss of compression.
What is effect of a weak valve spring?

Why am I losing compression in cylinder 283 Chevy?
Bad are burnt intake or exhaust valve. Pistion rings broken, Burned pistion. Blown head gasket. That is all that would cause no compression are a loss of compression.
You were told that when you take off the intake you are supposed to change the oil you failed to change the oil and now a lifter is knocking Could this cause you to not have any power?
Why yes. Loss of compression in that cylinder that has noisy lifter.
What causes in 1999 Isuzu Rodeo with V6 to loose compression?
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.

It is possible but it depends on where the crack is. If the crack is from the combustion chamber out, such as through a coolant passage it can also suck in coolant/antifreeze and loose compression.

What will cause lack of power and oil on the spark plugs in a 1995 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2L Engine?
Your piston rings are probably bad. Which will cause compression loss, in effect you will loss power, and it will let oil trough and saturate your plugs.
Can a bad belt tensioner cause misfires?
In theory, it could, but in all practicality, it would not. The four main causes of misfires are faulty sparkplugs, bad spark plug wires, bad fuel injectors or a loss of compression.
