it means that the car wasnt overheated enough to gt to that point

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.
What is loose compression?
Loss of compression is caused by bad internal engine wear or internal engine failure. Both mean the engine will need serious repair
What enters the cylinder during the induction stroke on a diesel engine?
In an internal combustion engine with a carburettor a mixture of air and atomised fuel is drawn into the cylinder. If the engine is fuel injected compression ignition engine then air is drawn in, the fuel is introduced just before top dead centre of the compression stoke. If you mean intake stroke, then the answer is air.
What does find the dank lose the tank mean?
Find the KGB & lose the BREWHA...
What does this mean Disc bulges of L34 and L5S1 do not result in neural compression?
It means that even though there is compression of the material between the discs there is no interference or pressure being put on the nerves that pass between them to the body.

Your Saturn SC2 coupe has lost all power and will not start?
Start with a compression test. Head gaskets fail when an engine overheats and that's a common cause of sudden engine failure. It doesn't always mean that the engine has to have overheated RECENTLY; sometimes it has to be run for a while.

What does chamber volume mean in a engine?
The chamber volume refers to the compression ratio of the external combustion of the engine.
Does more compression in an engine mean more power?
Theoretically yes. But it may also mean greater chance for detonation so be careful.
What does it mean when a car overheats after many attempts of getting unstuck in the snow?
engine not getting free flow of fresh cool air, perhaps fan not working or thermostat not working.
Low compression in number one cylinder in a 1.8 dual overhead cam interference engine?
Low compression in one cylinder can mean several things. The valves or piston rings may need to be replaced. There may be a crack on the engine, or the head gasket may have blown. The engine should be diagnosed properly to see what exactly is the cause of the low compression.
What should you do when a compression test reveals that compression is below average and the reason for a motor not working?
Low compression will not cause an engine to not run. It may not run efficiently but it will run. Low compression on all cylinders is caused by wear, and can only be fixed by overhauling the engine. Low compression on just one cylinder can be a blown head gasket, burnt valve, or a broken ring on that cylinder. I also depends on what you mean by "below average". An engine with lots of miles may very well have a compression reading that is below the factory specifications and not be cause for alarm. It depends on how much below specs that compression is. In any case, the only fix is to open the engine up.

What does the Engine size 1598 cc mean?
This is the displacement of the engine. Or how much volume the engine will displace in one full cycle (compression and exhaust stroke for all the cylinders.) The measurement is cubic centimeters or cc.
If you lost engine compression do you need to replace the motor and where can you buy a good running motor in the Detroit area?
loosing compression does not mean you have to get a new motor it can just mean u have a blown head gasket if its an old carIf compression is lost on only a few cylinders, then check the head gaskets. If compression is lost on all cylinders, check for a worn or broken timing chain.
Which side is compression on 95 Ford Ranger?
On a 1995 Ford Ranger : I'm assuming you mean the 2.3 liter four cylinder engine with Fords twin plug ignition system ( The spark plugs for the compression / power stroke are located on the drivers side of the engine , intake side )
