Phat535 Occasional Poster Location: Brisbane Registered: January 2004	Problem with my 4A-C .. any ideas? Sun, 07 August 2005 00:12 guys last weekend I was driving along and my car spluttered a few times and started to loose power then just died, I rolled off the side of the road and all I could smell was fuel. Took the air filter off and had a look down the carby, it was almost full to the top with fuel. The car was winding over like it had no compression at all so I just got it towed home till I had more time to look at it. Yesterday I've finally got around to taking a look. First thing I checked was timing belt which is fine. Did a compression test and it came up zero on all 4 cylinders, needle didnt even move. Tested the guage on another car to make sure it was working correctly and then tried again. Again a big zero on the first three and this time about 5psi on number 4. Have taken the rocker cover off to check valve operation which seems to be fine, gave the top of each valve/spring a small tap to make sure they were seating. Then squirted a bit of oil into each cylinder and did a wet test....still zero compression accross the board I'm pretty sure the fuel problem was just a stuck needle and seat, I've got a spare carby here I'll just throw on anyway cause I've never been able to get this carby to run right. But the compression problem has me confused. My boss was of the opinion all the fuel has washed the bores, and that if I just put oil down the spark plug holes and wind it over by hand for a while it should regain compression, but have wound it over by hand for about 15 minutes with oil in the cylinder then tried another compression test and it still came up zero. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks Dave [Report message to a moderator]
