Hey folks,
I have a 2002 Sentra 1.8L with low KM that doesn't start every so often, or needs more crank to start. I don't see any problems with fuel, air or spark. That leaves compression or sensors as possible culprits.
I've had a compression test on the cylinders done, and it was okay. Does that mean the head gasket is just fine or is it still possible its leaking and not showing up in the cylinder compression test?
I point to head gasket because 1) a few months back it was overheating due to low coolant and 2) it looses coolant, but I don't see it on the floor or in the oil, so I'm not really sure where its going.
I'm just wondering if I should spend on getting a full leak down test done if the compression test was okay.
Thanks
PS: I'm also coding for EVAP, cat performance and crank position sensor (which I've changed 2 times)
