SR20 Blacktop overheated, barely starts, then dies - Zilvia.net Forums
Here's what i've got currently:
-fuel pump primes, spark plugs smell like gas (getting fuel)
-spark plugs dirty but still arc to ground when tested (getting spark)
-motor barely turns over and you have to keep feeding it air to keep it alive
-very loud "knocking" likely coming from the block
-heavy engine shaking/vibration when barely running
-if left alone, will idle around 500 for about a minute before dying
-Compression Test:
Cylinder 1 ~ 106 psi
Cylinder 2 ~ 110 psi
Cylinder 3 ~ 94 psi
Cylinder 4 ~ 112 psi
Any ideas? What other tests or checks can I do to help isolate the problem? I dont have time to drain the oil and pull the pan right now, but I will after wednesday. I know something sounds seriously wrong but if I can learn from anyone else's past experience or expertise I would very much appreciate it.
