What are effects of the engine compression being to low in a car?

Primarily the result will be incomplete burn of the mixture or no ignition at all. Reduced compression reduces the particle pressure of the molecules in the cylinder resulting in variations of the burn pattern. This results in uneven pressure build up in the cylinder which manifests itself in a lack of power. Thus drivability of the vehicle is affected.

What does it mean when engine overheats but the car does not lose compression?
it means that the car wasnt overheated enough to gt to that point
I have compression spark fuel car not starting?
Could use more info such as make, model, engine and year.
I have 1997 interpid sport the car Crank but it won't start?
The engine needs fuel, compression and spark the run. You are missing one of those.
What does it mean when after a car runs hot and stalls it don't start up again?
Engines do not tolerate overheating. Often a head will warp slightly when the engine overheats and the head and/or engine block can even crack. Run a compression test on the engine. If you have a couple cylinders with low compression, the overheating has caused significant damage.
My car vibrates-shakes on starting the engine then more of a vibration as I'm drivinging slower speed and higher speed?
It is probably missing. Have it tuned up and a compression test run on the engine.
How do you know if your Hyundai lantra 1600 engine is losing compression?
When a Hyundai is losing compression in its engine the car will not run properly. Symptoms of low compression are misfires, stalls, and overheating.
Why diesel engine car is costlier than petrol engine car?
Due to the increase in the compression ratio of a diesel which fires on compression rather than spark, the engine is built much stronger than a petrol engine. It therefore just costs more to manufacture.
How do you check piston rings problem in petrol car engine?
by compression test
Why is your car not igniting when you start the engine?
The engine needs fuel, compression and spark to run. You are missing one of those.

What is the compression ratio of a petrol engine?
It can be anywhere from 8.5 to 1 for a normal car to 13 to 1 or higher for a race engine.
Will a broken thermostat prevent a car from starting?
no it will not unless the engine was extremely over heated destroying the compression
What makes car not to start?
The engine needs fuel, compression and spark to run. You are missing one of those.
Why is compression in a car engine important?
Well the only way your car will work is if it has compression your silenders haft to have the compression to go back down and make power if you are working on a car you MUST chack your compression and make sheer that you enuf if you don't something is wrong ( head gasket or a crack block more then likely ) if you tell us what motor you have we can tell you how much you need
What is Blow By in a car engine?
Blow by is the fumes that are produced inside the engine from the compression that slips past the piston rings as they wear out. The worst the ring get the more compression (blows by) the rings. Which is Where the Quote comes from. Steve @ mstrwrnch@yahoo.com
Bad effects of Sugar in car engine?
When sugar is placed in a car engine, it can clog up the engine. This may leave it not working properly and would have to be flushed or replaced.
