850 Compression 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be fixit 2003 on  Tue Jan 3 01:58 CST 2006 [RELATED]

It seems that 850's flood easily when they don't start up right away. The extra gas may have washed the oil off the rings causing the low compression. Try squirting some oil in the cylinders. The camm rotation sensor may be bad if the plugs are wet.
