'91 Convertible Not Starting
I believe I have a leaky fuel injector(s), as about 7 months ago I drove it about 30 feet when it was cold, and then it failed to start. I work at an auto repair shop, and my mechanic replaced the plugs and put ATF in the plug holes and it started up. Since then I have never driven it without getting the engine warmed up, and I have installed a flood switch.
Until about a month ago... Made the mistake of moving it in my driveway to a better position, probably running the engine for less than a minute. Now the engine sounds as if it has no compression.
I towed it back to the shop, and had my mechanic yank the plugs and try the deflood procedure again (we didn't replace the plugs this time). We've tried it twice. The engine doesn't seem to be building compression at all. It has been extremely cold here lately, so I'm sure that isn't helping. My shop doesn't have the tools necessary to do a proper compression check on these engines either. I'm trying to sell the car, and even have someone lined up to look at it Wednesday night. If anyone has any ideas, I'd like to hear them!
