Interesting - would bad coils make the compression test fail?

not directly. i wouldnt trust a compression test, especially if it was just "low". a brand new engine that was flooded will give low compression results

i agree with ted, you could sell right now for $1500-2000, or running condition for $4000-5000. so it would be worth it to fix if repairs cost less than $2000, less whatever your headache is worth


edit: "flooded" means combustion chamber flooded with fuel, which what can happen if coils not working properly

It has all the signs Flooded,Low Battery. It would be well worth the coils and a nice charge on the battery. Even throw the updated starter in there.

I just don't see an Auto popping a motor.


If it does have the crap starter that is going to turn it slower accompanied by a low battery and plugs in wrong order that is going to give you a horrible comp test in regards to the invoice..
