Im currently in Iraq, and my father emailed me saying the car had lost power and had a ruff idle, he took it to a guy he knows place and the guy tested the cylinders and found out the 1st cylinder isnt working its getting spark but not functioning. This was about 3 weeks ago the car has sat in this guys driveway not getting crap done to it so im coming to you fellas here to see if anyone has any ideas so i can get my baby running again instead of collecting dust. The guy replaced the injector because he said it wasnt getting fuel but that didnt fix it. What do you guys think? Is the motor still functional can it be repaired with out a rebuild? Thank You in advance for any information given.

they should do a compression check to see if it is holding compression. Did they change the spark plugs? check the cap/dizzy/rotor?
if valves were frozen there wouldn't be much functioning. |
