Well I found out my rx has low compression and thus the car had trouble starting once warmed up , so a switch was added to cut fuel pump when I had to shut the car so it would be easier to start once I came to the car from having it off after it was warm now my question is how many have experienced this and rode like this for how long or how long can I ride like this or should i ride the car like this ?

 

What were the compression numbers? You can drive a car with a blown engine as long as you can tolerate it.

 

numbers were in the 4's but the car runs pretty hard or ok i would say

 

4's? you mean 40's on the individual faces?

In my book if you don't require oil in the spark plug holes to get the car started than the engine is adequate for normal use, especially if you have your pump switch. You will certainly be down on power and fuel economy tho, for whatever that is worth.
