Here's the story on my DD: s14 that has been running perfectly fine no issues for a long time now. There hasn't been any loss of power, no hard starts. I drove the car to work on Friday, drove perfectly fine. I didn't drive it Saturday, started it up Saturday night to move the car out of the way of someone else in the driveway... Just pulled it forward 6 feet and shut it off running for less than a minute - 0 signs of a problem. Tried to start the car sunday morning - REFUSES to start... Doesnt sound good to me at all sounds like no compression. I tried replacing cap/rotor/plugs because they were due, car was getting fuel.

I just ran a compression test on all cylinders - I get ~60ish on all 4! Car seems to be out of oil too - shouldn't have been for too long I try to check it. I know the #'s should be lower when cold, and I know the car has been without much oil, and hasn't started in 4-5 days.

Numbers shouldn't be THAT low though should they? What the hell would have made the car run perfect one day and be shot the next morning like this?

if you ran out of oil that could be all it needed to take a shit
