Too All,
A sad day indeed. I posted a few days ago in regards to my car acting sluggish. The verdict is in, according to a shop. The cat was plugged just enough to cause tremendous pressure in the engine causing your spark plug to superheat and melt. The remaining portions of the spark plug either scraped the cylinder of blew a hole in it and that is why you have no compression.

All from a cat....A lesson to all, check your cat convertors. On the bright side, there is a donor engine I can get for 250 bucks but have no knowledge how to put in. There is also a nice 92 940 Turbo waiting down the street that I took for a ride and VROOM it went!
