Caboobaroo Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I finally did a compression test on my coupe ('87 SPFI, FWD auto) and the #1 cylinder failed badly. Pulled the valvecover off of the passenger side and it appears I have a dropped exhaust valve.... argh... so now I'm looking for an engine since this one has 256k miles on it and I bet its going to be a bit tired...

mikeshoup Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 That blows. Might explain the lack of starting. My wagon has a nice SPFI engine, and the whole car is for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 That's not helping the situation Mike... tempting me with yet ANOTHER car...:-p Yeah I kinda figured thats why it wouldn't want to start either:brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
