Please do a compression check and then report back the results

And you will get better help and feedback if you put the problem in the title, rather than a generic "please help".

 

ok man thanks

 

yeah, compression check, it might be a screwed up apex seal

 

should i even spend the money if its a apex seal

Only if you keep it as a hobby.

Make a fuel cut switch. It's on this site somewhere. I know not how. Search.....FUEL CUT SWITCH

Old engines lose compression and are hard to start.

 

it might be flooded...

 

i got a cut off switch i need this car to run i need a car and its not flooded

 

You sure its not flooded???..

 

i dont think it is but if it is flooded and u push start it would it still be flooded

 

I would assume so...

Go to Tech and then to unflooding procedures.

I would probably change oil too if in your case it is flooded.

 

heh.. i had my seven flooded for ever. took us pulling he sparkplugs and throwing in some atf. We had previously checked for everything too-- the sparkplugs, wires, coils, fuel pump. and the damn thing was flooded the entire time. Oh well, live and learn. If its flooded bad, its flooded reeeeaaaalll bad.
