 Engine acts like it timing chain skipped
Engine spins but won't start. It spins rapidly, sounds like engines I've heard with a damaged timing belt. I removed the cam cover, checked the cam timing and it is good. The car ran normally before this happened. Cold compression check is about 70 psi per cylinder, they are all about the same. I realize that this is way low. The coil appears to be bad as well, 0 ohms of resistance on all 4 primary coils. I don't really have the equipment for a leakdown check available.
This is for a 97 ti with the M44.
Is there something I'm missing here? This all seems to point to bent valves or something along those lines but there is no evidence of skipped time. Any thoughts? __________________  |
