We have a 1991 Laser 1.8 FWD 5 speed. Car was parked 17 years ago with a bad fuel pump. We removed, cleaned, and sealed gas tank and installed new fuel pump and filter along with new fuel injectors. We have fuel at the injectors and spark at the spark plugs which appear to be in good condition. The engine cranks but will not start.
Cold compression test resulted in 40psi per cylinder - obviously way low. Adding oil to the cylinders raised the compression to 45psi.
Any ideas on what to test next before we have to break into the engine? The service manual says it could be stuck valves or a leaking gasket. We removed the valve cover and the rollers appear to move properly and their is fresh oil being moved into the assembly.
I'm at a loss and could use some help. Thanks.
