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

Peter,

I'm no Tech but from what I've read here it sounds as if a valve is stuck open, due to carbon build up on the valve stem. Try some Techron Fuel system cleaner in a couple of tanks of gas and try the "Italian Tune-up" which is to run the car at 4000+ rpm for 10-15 minutes (keep it in low). this will help the valves loosen up and rotate, REALLY!
