WheaT_BeeR_MaN Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 ok so its starts off i was thinkin i had some spark problems so i pulled some wires while the car ran and found on the drivers side it didnt make a difference when pulling either 1. soo i then did a compression test and figured out my #1 piston didnt have any compression and the others were about 100. anyways i still drive it daily and it seems wierd but it studders alot until it warms up which doesnt take long at all but still not a whole lot of power then at about 3500 rpms it just takes off like a new car cant tell anything is wrong with any cylinder. ive brought this up a little before but i was hoping to figure out what going on overall it kinda seems like a few problems. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 No compression, sounds like a head gasket issue, if you're running on 3 cylinders that would certainly make it run rough. Did you try a wet compression check? could one of your valves be sticking? I'll assume that this is your MPFI GL-10 turbo yeah? the more info you give us, the more help we can be.

4x4_Welder Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Probably a head gasket, I had a Ford 300-6 do that to me once. Blew between #3 and #4, couldn't tell once it was over about 1500rpm, but loped bad at an idle. Of course, that engine was really pushing the limits of the stock design- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 It's not uncommon to blow just one cylinder like that. At least the EA81 couldn't be easier to do the HG on. I actually enjoy those. EA82's are like pulling teeth.... GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly_cat Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 My GL ran wacky and there is a a solinod that sticks a pin into the carb that shuts off the gas when the key is off and the wire to that was broke. SO I had been running with the idle circuit shut off or something, Im not sure its a head gasket if there is no water loss, maybe a stuck/burn valve. sc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheaT_BeeR_MaN Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 update my car is running good! for now. so i guess the compression tester i used was fcked up so i used another 1 and all pistons have 120 psi, wierd huh. well were think that there wasnt compression to 1 of them because of carbon build up and was just knocked loose. so im gonna put some top end combustion cleaner i guess it works mircales and really pisses off your neibors when u fill the neiborhood up with smoke. oh and what was keepin my car from good was my primary had mud in it! haha i suck no but really i rock.
