Decided to do a compression test before further troubleshooting of the fuel system.
About 140psi of compression in the 5 cylinders I checked, I didn't see the need to check the other 3. The strange thing is there is really no blowby coming from the oil fill tube when cranking.
What I know; (I just bought it not running, 2nd hand information)
died while driving, would not restart.
took to a dealer & after some checkout they asked him if he was running a chip or programmer, he said yes. They told him the engine is toast & would at the very least need pistons.
I am not optomistic, but is there anything cheap or easy (compared to pulling engine) that could cause this?
Is there any possiblity that bad injectors (warranty) could have caused this?
If not, I am looking to buy a used engine to swap out if I can find one in the next week or so, if not I will be pulling this one to rebuild.
