Im driving a 93 Talon TSI AWD right now, and i tried driving it this morning and i put it in reverse, and it went really slow, thought nothing of it, so i tried it in 2nd (1st is basically gone) and it still went really really slow so i just went back in my driveway, and i got it half way up and left it there. Then an hour later i went to start it and it was knocking bad because it needed oil. So i put oil in it and then i tried to start it but it wouldnt start. Compression starting with the piston closest to the thermostat is like 2, then 150, then 45, then 150. So whats the problem guys, it turns over, and wants to start. Also i put new plugs in.

thanks in advance,
brad

Umm, you blew your motor because there wasn't enough oil...
 
i think hes right..sounds like low low oil and running your car=bad. im down the road from you by like 30 minutes so if you need a hand pulling your motor i could help out. sounds like the motor bit the dust.
