cant start my 85 rx
hi i tryed to start this car before i payed for it, so i turned the key over and it just would not start even if i put gas down the carb, so i just payed for it and parked it for the winter, now i want start it so i dumped the 3 year old gas and put new gas in drained the fuel line to the carb, and installed new spark plugs, when i try to start it the RPM reads 1000-2000 but as sone as i put gas down the card it turns 3000 ish, but i never hear it start it just turns faster, some one toled me thers no compretion and that the readth valve is stuck open/craked or shattered, thats Y its not running? dose the sound like its the prob? o and when i did a compretion test with a regular guage it was reading 0 psi so, i think thats my prob how do i get to that valve?
now keep in mind that i did the compretion test using the traling #1 apex (top hole) and not the botem one.
and how should i do the ATF thing? if its not carboned locked? my dad says i should atf it so that the seals will free them selfs thats Y it has no compretion?
