1989 Honda Civic Wagon DX
1.5l dualpoint auto fwd
so i was getting on the highway today and all of the sudden the motor starts to loose power. at that point the gas pedal was on the floor so could at least make it off the onramp. after i let off the gas the car immediatly died...........
so now the car is at home. at first it would try to start then burp and try again...so i thought the timing belt might have jumped a couple teeth..no weird noises though so i know there was no piston to valve contact. so i check timing..its fine. pull plugs. all getting spark. it smells like gas so its getting it. try to turn it over again. crank crank big burp.....no it sounds as if the plugs were taken out...no compression at all....
no leaks
no cel
my guess is the headgasket is gone. but i highly doubt all 4 cylinders would go at once......unless a couple cylinders were already gone......but idk
what do you all think?
