Well on the 86 i got, number 5 cylinder just died off one night driving home. Its a NA motor. We had all the injectors professionaly flowed and new spark plugs and wires(its getting spark and fuel). What would cause the cylinder to loose compression? i can tell its not getting nearly enough compression on number 5 because when you crank the starter, it raises and lowers rpm as it tries to turn over. Could it possibly be something besides worn rings or not sealing valves?
