Quick Question

Ok my car stalled out awile back, and i did a compression test and they were 150, 150, 150, and 120, not exact numbers but around there, anyway i did another test after I added oil to the cylinders and it went to 200 for all of them or around 200, and the numbers didnt go down at all, meaning its the rings right??? And would my car start at all with blown rings or a blown head gasket if thats the case?

Re: Quick Question

Depends on how bad the headgasket blown or how many pistons are missing rings. Cars can run and start on 3 cyl. but not very well and smooth. DId ur car stall while driving or at a stop and is it 5 spd or auto. There are a lot of factors other than a compression test that can cause ur car to stall whether it is fuel, vacuum, intake, ignition etc etc. Whatchu always wanna do is give ur car a tune up and then see if it is the cure. If it still runs like sh*t then u kno it is something more major. That way u can tell if it was something simple or major by giving it a simple tune up

Re: Quick Question

well i gave it a tune up about a month and a half ago, and then it stalled out on me while i was driving(its 5spd manual)before it stalled out while it idled i could hear like a bubbling sound and the RPM needle would drop like its aboout to stall then it would climb back up but then it just stalled out on me when i was driving the oil/battery light flciked on and the car shut off.
