Stupid question you do have compression

But isn't it a possibility that it's the cause of no start now?

Did a compression test a while back it was normal and equal on all 4 pistons

Do you think i should do a compression test again?

Btw can a blown head gasket cause this issue? Or a piston ring or something

Now my valve seals are leaking some oil but not too much nit sure if they do cause that
What psi

I think it was 140

It was about a year ago when my catalytic converter clogged up and i was searching for the issue
See what others think
Doesn't sound right to me
But I normally only listen to the car from the inside
140 isn't good

Probably because it was clogged want me to do a compression test again?
What's it sound like from inside the car
Earlier you said the rev counter caught up to the cranking of 600 rpm
I thought it was a typo as they crank at 300ish but is battery dependent

There's no RPM feedback now I can't tell but it goes up to a little bit over the line (the first one) and i remember on the scan tool it used to hit 608-610 something like that. When it was working anyway
600 sounds to high for the normal battery
Do you have a compression tester

No but i can borrow one from my friend just like when i did when the converter was clogged
Yep lets get it done and out of the way
Post a few second cranking from inside the car
It sound is very even to me
You can get a pretty good idea just by turning the crank pulley, but you would have to know what a good compression feels like first
with a socket and wrench. It should kick back a good 30 plus degrees plus approaching top dead centre, the pressure should build and build and then suddenly release, if something's wrong you normally hear a hiss and a graduate release before TDC

When i was checking the pulley on the sensor i was turning it by hand and yes there was a very hard pull to turn it

By the way if it was a compression issue the car wouldn't drive normally when it starts i guess
We have so far
Three relays not pushed in fully
One fuse not pushed in fully
Damage to the timing covers
Damage to the CKP sensor wires
Damage to the earth leads
An earth lead on the ECU that does not belong
One none original relay fuse box going to the ECU
Compression test of 145 psi
It still appear to have an earth/power issue according to the behaviour of the battery and oil lights
Yes a car will start and run fine with a blown head gasket between cylinders 1 and 2 and a quarter of the normal PSI on these cylinders at cranking speed
We can only deal with what presented, I cannot hear the the sound of the cranking slowing down as the pistons reach top dead center this is not normal, I don't know whether you are using a big diesel truck battery, I don't normally listen to the engine cranking from near the pulley
I post a video of a working car from inside and you can clearly hear from inside when TDC is being reached
To me, before wasting any more time, it's worth checking the compression

Gonna do you a video while cranking on the inside then go fetch the compression test gauge if you say so but i still believe it's an electrical failure somewhere
