well I am nit giving up on this car!

I had another guy come by and give it a look. His first reaction was its low compression....sick of hearing that! The thing started fine before it sat a month. So I cranked the engine over for him, and he's like yep it sure isn't cranking fast enough.

he then looked at my battery cables and they were 10 gauge and very worn...so he went and got some 12 gauge ones and it started cranking a bit faster!

people are telling me that's its not a oil problem, but I beg to differ. I think that after a 900 mile drive at 75mph that the oil became all gunked up with carbon from sitting, having tight valves and running wvo....my friend ran a tank of bio through it to before my trip.

so I think the oil is just to thick to flow and the cold isn't helping.

so I am changing the oil! I am fearful of doing a 100% synthetic change so I am going to do a 50/50.

I also ordered a new set of glowplugs...mine test good in the car but I have no idea how many miles are on them nor the brand. I will remove them and squirt a little oil to soak down into the rings to clear up any sticking issues.

last resort will be starter!

if I have to graft a Honda onto the front end of this girl I will lol
