ENIGMA-STUMPED! ENGINE TURNED OVER THEN SPUN LIKE NO COMPRESSION 850 95

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter on  Mon Nov 27 07:36 CST 2000 [RELATED]

THIS ONE I COULD REALY USE HELP ON.

WENT TO START THIS A.M., AND THE ENGINE TURNED AS USUAL, THEN KICKED, THEN THE STARTER SPUN (I THOUGHT). TRIED AGAIN AND IT SOUNDED LIKE STARTER WAS NOT ENGAGING (SPIN HIGH PITCH).

OPENED THE OIL FILLER AND THE CAM WAS MOVING ON EACH TURNOVER BUT STILL SPINNING LIKE NO COMPRESSION.

TOOK TIMING BELT COVER OFF, AND STILL INTACT. NO WEAR THAT I COULD SEE ANYWAY. 70K(I KNOW NEEDS CHANGING, AND I THOUGHT IT BROKE).

IN THAT I HAD SPUN UP THE STARTER FOUR TIMES OR SO I THREW A 2 AMP CHARGER ON AND WENT INSIDE TO GET HAYNES MANUAL.

AFTER 10 MIN OF READING, I THOUGHT MAYBE THE CAM BROKE NEAR THE DIST. WHEN I WENT OUT AGAIN AND TURNED OVER, THERE WAS COMPRESSION AGAIN BUT ONLY KICKED OVER AFTER CONTINUED STARTER TURNS. FINALLY GOT A START AND AFTER ABOUT 3SEC OF RUN, THE ENGINE SETTLED AND RAN AS SMOOTH AS ALWAYS.

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

IS THERE SOME SYSTEM WHICH WOULD BYPASS OR OPEN EXAUST VALVES FOR COMPRESSION I DONT KNOW ABOUT?

THIS IS A TUFF ONE, THANK YOU SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY IDEA. THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP NOW WITHOUT ANY MISFIRE OR INCIDENT.
