Re: Does the 1 liter 3 Cylinder need backpressure to run?

I do have a feeling he's losing compression in one of the cylinders. He's getting spark to all of the cylinders, but it would always idle like it's missing in one of the cylinders until you'd rev it. He has the car in the shop right now and they're waiting for new parts for the exhaust system. He says Geo Metro engines aren't like any other engine and that they NEED backpressure to run. I still can't believe that. But if it decides to run after the new exhaust system is installed, then I'll believe it.
