Need Help car wont start
this is what happened with mine for the fuel pump.
did the fuel pump install. car ran great around my street. once i started boosting, it cut up real bad. one the way back to my house, the engine wouldn't go over 2k rpm. when i let the car idle, it would idle really bad at around 500rpm for a couple of seconds and then die. it won't have a problem starting up every time, but would die quickly after start up.
as for the no compression on #1 and #2, thats wierd. to get zero comp in those cylinders would mean that the valves for those cylinders are bent. did you install any cams or cam gears? do a wet compression test (put some oil in the cylinders) and see if the compression numbers increase
