My s2 starts but wont idle, it sounds like its running on 3 cylinders n has no compression what so ever. When it starts n i put my foot down it keeps running but is really lumpy and pours blue smoke out the back???

NE1 know what could be the problem?? I have a spare engine i was going to put into it but would like to know if the problem is repairable first??

NE Help appreciated, Cheers

havent tuched the cam belt at all have you or it could be a hose off some where have a close ever where even a little leak can do what your saying dont forget the hose to the ecu hope this helps

sounds like a holed piston,then again,a fooked plug could cause the lumpyness,but no comp,sounds like maybe a holed piston or/and fooked gasket,blue smoke,water+oil
