Default S2 running prob. HELP!!

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

Minedoes this for a few seconds when starting (no blue smoke) think mine is overfueling though as the tailpipe is very sooty. Give it a minute try again and its fine Need a setup me thinks!

When you say it has no compression, what do you mean by this??

If you mean that it really has no compression (i.e. different sound when you turn it over etc), then the problem could well be a Head Gasket Failure, or worse still and Chunk or Hole out of one of your Pistons.

The only real way to know for sure is to carry out some tests, such as a Compression Test etc.
