2002 Ford Taurus
----------------------------------------------------------------
Was told my # 2 cyl. only has 50% comp. and will need to be rebuilt. was running rough prior to replacing plugs, wires and coil pak. but did not correct problem and had car looked at and was told a rebuild was needed or new engine. car was running good and no knocks with great exceleration. Would this be a fact. had car looked at because after running for about a few minutes it stopped and would not start but just turned over and popped a few times without starting. any advice, thanks

Hi there,

I would like to know what the comp pressures are wet & dry you may have a burnt vales and don't need a few re build, see if you can get this test done, it is simple any work shop can do it.
