What would cause a 2000 VW Beetle to not start after running out of gas and have compression come out of intake?

There was probably dirt in the bottom of your tank that clogged the fuel filter when it ran dry. This is very common. Take out your fuel filter, drain any gas that might be left in the tank, replace the filter and refill the tank.

No compression on 3100 motor just changed the intake gasketthe car is a lumina?
The intake and exhaust pushrods are different lengths. If you mix them up you can cause bent valves upon the first crank which would cause a no compression condition.
What causes a motor to backfire out of the intake manifold?
A leaking spark plug wire can cause a backfire out of the intake, but the most common cause is a burned intake valve. A burnt intake valve will allow leakage during the compression stroke back through the intake causing a popping backfire out of the intake manifold.
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.
Engine pops through intake What is the problem?
Most likely cause is a burnt out inlet valve. You need to do a compression check.
What is effect of a weak valve spring?
It will not close quickly or completely, on intake it will cause loss of compression and backfiring, on exhaust also loss of compression. There may also be some noise from piston hitting valve, and possible damage.
Will intake manifold leak cause low compression on 6 cylinder?
NO! You could run a compression test on an engine with NO intake manifold installed, so a leak of any size will not affect compression. The only things that usually affect compression is your rings, valves, and valve timing. if you have low compression on only one cyl, then valve timing is probably OK. With the piston at TDC removed the spark plug and introduce low pressure air (20psi) into the cylinder. If rings are bad, air will go into the crankcase (air comes out the oil cap), if air comes out the intake, you have an intake valve concern, if air goes out the tailpipe, you have a exhaust valve issue......Good Luck
Can a bad intake gasket cause water to mix with oil?
Yes, a bad intake gasket can cause coolant to mix with engine oil. Indeed a bad lower intake can cause this. Who ever said the head gasket is a moron. You can't assume this all the time. This is why you have diagnostic tools such a a compression tester and a leak down tester. For example, my compression is good, and the valves are not leaking past the specs. However, there is air coming from the lower intake. The gasket is bad. Also, it's always suggested that you change the oil after the gasket just to be sure no water got in the oil pan from doing the gasket.
1999 jaguar xj8 losing compression from flooding?
If you have lost compression on several cylinders, and the car will not start, then its a cleaning problem and not a mechanical problem. The intake valves have got dirty and cannot seal very well, take off intake manifold and clean valves at the seat area. This should bring compression back. Usual cause is a commute of a mile or two, not allowing for complete engine warm up, lots of gook condensed in intake manifold. Richard
What do you do if there is oil in the intake?
THAT IS CALLED "BLOW BY" THE USUAL CAUSE WHEN I SEE THOSE CASES ARE WORN PISTON RINGS. BUT TO BE SURE YOU NEED TO HAVE A COMPRESSION TEST DONE IS YOUR CAR SMOKING?(BLUE)
What could cause a Cylinder 1 Misfire code on a 1999 Chrysler Sebring?
Spark plug, wire, coil, low compression, fuel injector, intake leak, etc.
Would a leak in the intake manifold gasket cause low compression?
no it will not. Bad rings will do it, Valves not seating in the head, Bad head gasket. Burnt piston will do it . These are things to look for.
What damage can a leaky intake manifold cause in a 1995 Buick LeSabre?
Serious. On the intake manifold a leak sucking in of air will cause a lean running condition generating excessive heat if the computer is unable to adjust by adding more gas to the mixture.
