Lost Compression/No accel
Hi there. I've been having an issue lately, and I'm wondering if anyone might have some ideas of the issue.
I'll be driving along fine for 20 or 30 miles and then... I just start slowing down. Even if I put the petal to the floor I continue to slow down. I'll stop, restart, and try to go... I'll get about 20 MPH and it's like driving with the brakes on, it goes until the engine finally dies. Slowing down little by little. I've seen the compression drop. It normally sits all the way up on 45, but sometimes it will drop to 30ish. Not sure if this is related, or if it's maybe the torque converter or something along those lines. I lost reverse in the car months ago, so I know the transmission already has some issues. Thoughts? Thanks all. |

Change your fuel filter.

See if it happens if you drive with the fuel filler cap off.

I believe he is referring to oil pressure. If the fuel filters dont do it, check if any of the wheels are extremely hot.

?? "My Maserati goes 185, I lost my license, now I don't drive"?
The artist's name escapes me at the moment.

I once bought a very nice stick shift 240D that had a blown engine. The lady got home and told her husband "I think the car needs a quart of oil, the gauge is down to ONE". Hubby says "OH CRAP" and hops in the car to pick up some oil, bad idea It, of course, didn't make it.
