[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 223609, member: 4617"] Finished the kitchen backsplash this morning. Had to silicone between the counter and backsplash. All done, my job in the kitchen is finished. Spent the rest of the day troubleshooting the 1200 engine issue(s). There is a water hose that goes in front of the right timing belt cover back to the IAC valve. This got too close to the alternator fan belt and a hole was carved into the hose, coolant started to go all over. New coolant hose, with a bit of route change and all is well. Looked into the firing issue. 1/3/4 are firing like a good thing, and have 155/160 compression. Checked #2. Have spark to the plug so all is well in the ignition system. No error codes on the ECU for the injectors, but did a change up just in case no change. Next look was for compression and none/nada/zilch - ZERO. Thought about this. Only thing I did to the head was removed a shim from #2 intake. Put shim back, no change. Installed an additional shim hoping the valve might just be off the seat, no change. Next test will be a leak down test. Need to determine if it is the head or the piston rings. This engine is definitely testing my resolve. Cheers [/QUOTE]
