Made it home on 3 cyls at 17 MPG. After it cools off,.. Posted by TonyJ [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: '97CSE Sudden compression loss, AndyJ, Sat, 24 Sep 2005 07:00:37 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'll pull of the valve cover and check things out. Thanks for posting for me, Andy. I thought for sure it was the DI, but when I swapped it there was no improvement. Then I pulled the plugs and found number 2 dry, with a grey crusty deposit. Replacing it made no difference. (Thanks for responding, 97 aero auto, but't much more serious that plugs or DI.) I was fortunate to find Computer Tune & Lube (Manchester, CT), who worked me into their busy Saturday morning schedule. They measured zero compression on #2 cyl. along with the other observations noted by Andy. Any advice, especially based upon similar experience, will be greatly appreciated.
I was towing a F440 race car to an autocross event, which meant there were plenty of tools available. We usually get 23-25 MPG at highway speeds with the ~1000 lb aluminum flat bed trailer in tow.
