Unhappy HELP!!! No Compression

Ater one day of my FC sitting in the shop all they know is that my engine is getting plenty of spark and fuke but there is no compression. They are waiting on new diagrams to help them I was wondering if anyone had any ideas.

My 1st thought was it might have been apex seals

I started my car drove it into the grage at about midnight, ran fine. Tried to start it the next day and it didn't start.

Flooded.

Now stop acting like people on this board owe you something. IF you post and get help, great. IF you post and don't get help, don't bitch at us because of it. No one here is indebted to you, or in any way obligated to answer your questions.

take the upper intake manifold off and pure ATF yes automatic transmision fluid into the intake...let it sit for awhile than try cranking the motor. it seems that you have too much fuel and all the seals dried up... pull out all injectors and make sure they;re not stuck open...this had happened to me while steve kan was tuning my car.

back to the ATF...after trying to crank the motor pure more fluid in as you need, i needed a quart and a half, hopefully you wont need that much. o and while cranking pull the fuse for the fuel under the hood. its one of the big green fuses. you cant have fuel going into the motor at the same time. you also might want to pull one spark plug from each rotor to prevent vapor lock if the fuel was what dried the seals.\

once you hear the compression come back in the one rotor you can put the spark plugs back in and try to drive around...that should free up the other rotor..

Hey guys, hasn't it been proven that ATF is bad for the rotor oil seals?
