Loss of Engine Pressure Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting Guest Anonymous Poster Jan 5, 2007, 1:45 AM Post #1 of 4 (1597 views) Loss of Engine Pressure Sign In Hey, hows it going. I drive a 92 Honda Civic Ex. I had noticed that my engine was acting up, so my friend took it to his shop, and did a pressure test. He would let it run for a while. After about an hour, it would begin to lose pressure. He guessed that the head gasket might be cracked or something. Can anybody exactly explain to me what that means, what might have caused it, or how I would go on fixing it? Also, is it safe to drive until i can find time to fix it? Thanks steve01832 Veteran Jan 5, 2007, 3:21 AM Post #2 of 4 (1594 views) Re: Loss of Engine Pressure Sign In What do you mean by pressure? Is it losing compression, oil pressure, or fuel pressure?

If this was a head gasket you would be seeing way too much fog from the tailpipe or a leak external or into oil. You asked if you should drive it?? Answer is you should use all common sense and find the trouble which probably can't be done on-line, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
