Car won't start

Hey I always post my problems and I always get a good and accurate answer. And here I am again, posting yet, another problem.


My car was running fine. Till one day, I thought I flooded it. So I decided to take out my plugs and crank my engine to de-flood. No work.

I busted out EGI fuse, no work either.


Sooo I just got home and I tried to start my car again and it STARTED!

Yes, but the problem begins here.

Revved INSANELY low. Like .5 RPM. So I thought maybe if I give it some gas, it would warm the engine up. Instead, it just turned off.


Is this a symptom of low engine compression? I'm hoping not.

Thanks for any replys!

you can check the compression with a friend and a $10 tester.

Nah NGK doesn't help.

I bought NGK and replaced my old ones with it like a month ago.


But does it sound in any way like a low compression?
