Dead Cylinder
Hi, My 1985 Tercel (2dr cpe - SOHC Carbureted) threw the spark plug out of the #3 cylinder while on the freeway. The car starts and runs without any obviously abnormal sounds. Compression shows all cylinders at about 160 lbs, while the # 3 cylinder shows only 20 lbs. Any ideas as to what went wrong, and how major the repairs might be would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Dead Cylinder
does the 3ed cylender have tons of oil in it? And do you have a plug in the 3ed cylender now? or did it strip out?

Re: Dead Cylinder
No, no oil in it. Also, the plug just backed itself out....twice. THe first time I thought maybe it was loose since I hadn't replaced the plugs in a while. Unfortunately, it did it again shortly after re-seating all the plugs. Basically, it looks and sounds normal to me, other than I have no compression in that cylinder.
And a correction to my first post, it is an 1989 Tercel - 3E engine. Thanks

Re: Dead Cylinder
any loss in power? Sounds like a valve problem.
