What would cause a 1995 Chevy Cavalier to lose power while you are driving?
If it always goes back to normal later, I'd suspect fuel filter first. But other problems are possible.
What can cause an Chevy colbat to lose compression?
On one or all cylinders? a single cylinder compression loss may be a stuck or bent valve, or even bad piston rings. Engine wide would have to be some kind of massive valve train failure.
What would make a cavalier lose power and not run right?
Low fuel pressure
Why would 86 Toyota turbo lose compression equal on all cyls. then lots of black smoke and uses lots of gas?
it must be burning oil ? and have a gas leak? as to why it would lose equal compression i am unshure have a professional look at it
What happens when you lose compression?
flatulance
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.
What would cause a 1975 Chevy Nova to puff white smoke from the valve covers and lose oil pressure?
Moisture or coolant has contaminated the oil. Drain and replace the oil/filter and run a compression test. You may have a blown head gasket.
Why would one wear compression tights?
A person would choose to wear compression tights in order to try to lose weight or to appear slimmer. They may wear them for self confidence because they'll feel slimmer.
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.
Should a 3 year old cavalier spaniel lose a tooth?
no
Does a head gasket make an engine lose compression?
Verification on your question: Do head gaskets make cars lose pressure....hmmmmm, I think what your asking is.... Does a head gasket make an engine lose compression. - Correct?The simple answer is yes, it does, but it is by design. The amount the head gasket lowers the compression (or pressure) is built into the overall design of the engine. For instance, if you were to assemble the head to the block, without a gasket, you would raise the compression (pressure) slightly and potentially cause damage to the engine. This would most likely become apparent when you burn out a valve or burn a hole in the top of a piston.In general terms: - The greater the compression ratio, the bigger the explosion in the bore and the more heat that is produced.
What would cause spuddering in a 95 neon the car drives fine then starts to lose compression so the rpm's go from 3000 to 1000 within a quarter secong then it gains compression then does it again?
Is your check engine light on?
