It could be a variety of things. easy stuff to check for include making sure all our spark plugs are there and tight, or any kind of leak around the head gasket.
If you haven't already, you can get a shop to run a compression test (to verify the spark plug connection) or pressurize the system to see where the leak is at. good luck!
What else can I help you with?
You have a 96 ford probe gt the alternator belts broke off you replaced them and now your engine its not starting it lost the compression could it be the timing belt gone off too?
That's the first place I'd look if an engine had no compression.
How can you tell if your engine has lost compression?
You can check for lost compression in your engine by conducting a compression test, which measures the pressure in each cylinder. If one or more cylinders show significantly lower readings than the others, it indicates a compression loss. Additionally, symptoms like rough idling, reduced power, excessive exhaust smoke, or unusual noises can also suggest compression issues. Finally, a leak-down test can help pinpoint the source of the compression loss.
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.
Can low compression on an engine damage a engine?
Low compression indicates that engine damage already exists. An engine's compression will be lost if: there is damage or wear to the pistons or rings there is damage or wear to the valve train there is damage or loss of seal on the cylinder head There are some other factors as well, but these three cover most.

Can peeing in a gas tank or on an engine cause lost engine compression?
Into the gas tank; no. Any volume of fluid being poured directly into the combustion chamber of the engine can cause the destruction of the pistons, which will lead to compression loss (among other more severe side effects).
How do you detect low compression of engine?
To detect low compression in an engine, you can perform a compression test using a compression gauge. Remove the spark plugs, insert the gauge into the cylinder, and crank the engine to measure the pressure; low readings indicate potential issues. Additionally, a leak-down test can help identify where compression is lost, whether through valves, piston rings, or gaskets. Observing symptoms like rough idling, poor acceleration, or excessive exhaust smoke may also suggest low compression.
When you were driving your car started to lose power then shut offwhat happened?
The engine needs fuel, compression and spark to run. You lost one of those.
Is it necessary to change piston ring when engine overheat?
Only if you lost compression. The heat may have damaged the rings. The rings are like spring steel if heated to much the tension will leave and the seal to the cylender wall will be lost
What is the compression of a 3hp Briggs and Stratton engine?
Briggs and Stratton does not release specific compression values. Anything above 120 psi should be just fine, around 90-100 and you're most likely due for a rebuild. A better test is a leakdown test, with can help in determining where compression is being lost.
Is there any vehicle which can run on both petrol and diesel?
A vehical that runs on petrol and diesel is impossible as they are both ignited in different ways. For exaple petrol is ignited by the spark plugs and a diesel is ignited by the shear force of the compression from the pistons. A petrol engine has a round 9:1 compression ratio and a diesel has about 20:1 but these veary from engine to engine I hope that hasn't lost you
Why has your 100cc engine lost compression?
A 100cc engine may lose compression due to several factors, including worn piston rings, which can allow gases to escape past the piston. Additionally, a damaged head gasket or a cracked cylinder head can result in pressure loss. Valve issues, such as improper sealing or damage, can also contribute to reduced compression. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify and prevent these issues.
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.
