Fix the Dirtbag's Hoopty

[Philthy]

Just got home from Robert's and his ultra high performance wheels are still down. So, the brotha has fuel pressure, injectors are firing, spark plugs are, uh, sparking and no one has placed a giant C-Ring around his air filter so there is air. All I can figure is timing is 180 degrees off or the engine is so shot it no longer makes compression. He swears timing is right and I've never seen a motor that had too little compression to fire up...so, anyone have any guesses? My money's still on timing, even though I wasn't getting any back fires, just rrr-rrr-rrr-rrr when trying to start.

Hmmm... well, it could be a too much fuel issue.

What kind of car?

[pickinicholas]

Yeah might be too much fuel... have you done a compression check?

Robert finally had me tow the hoopty to the shop and they think it may have been a warped head. That would have to be one seriously warped head to leak out so much compression the engine wouldn't fire. That is all, carry on.

ouch.
