Like the subject says. I started up my car one minute, it was fine, I moved it into the garage, went back to start it up an hour later, and i have no compression! Can anyone pls tell me what might have happened? I've been without my 7 for 2 weeks now. Feedback pls.

You need to give us LOTS more details. What exactly happens now?

you flooded it when you didn't let it warm up ALL the way.
Too much gas got in the engine, which diluted the oil in the engine (the oil is what helps things seal correctly in the engine, which gives you compression).

sorry, i havnt kept posted up. I dont think its flooded, not 100% since im not too great with cars, but its been 3 weeks almost and its flooded before and ive been sucessful unflooded it. Ive tried the process of pulling the egi fuse and thats not working. People say it sounds like it has no compression and it doesnt sound flooded like it has before. My dad can work on american cars alright, but rotary's....not so great. He said he did a compression test and all he told me was,"its got no compression." Now like i said before i know **** about cars, he told me he tested the comp. by pulling a spark plug to try it, but later he then told me he looked up and found that you dont test the compression like that. He's not sure whats up with the car and neither am i.
