no power
 

i have a 89 na it has 180,xxx and it has no power. it wont go over 10 mph after compression test 5 cylinders were ok but one is low. any ideas?

BHG! .... Blown Head Gasket.... read up around to forum about it before u do the job or you will waste your money and time

one of your clyinders prolly isnt fire'n either

well see i dont belive its a hg my 91 hade one and symptoms were milky oil well milky green oil it smoked like a steam engine and over heated this one seams fine just no power and bad compression in one cylinder. you think mabey bad valve?

any other i deas or do you gus think it is a bhg?

check to see if u have exhaust gasses in your coolant

well i cant start the car cuz the gas tank fell off anyone know where to find gas tank straps?

i think it has to be somthing more than just a bent or broken valve or even a bhg cuz it has no power at all i cant get passed 10 mph

Even with one cylinder down you should be able to go faster than that. Have you checked your timing or timing belt?

well the car is not mine yet but they are asking 400 body is in very good con. other than a few surface rust spots. the interior is also very good. he said its just the motor has problems he said he took it to a shop and one cyl. has low compression they said the know the symtoms of a bhg and that was not the prob they said the engine was toast so... not sure cuz i cant look at it but what you guys think?
