Asked on April 21, 2012

I have a 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser. The cylinders have low compression, even as low as 65 pounds ; The highest being 105. The vehicle will not start, and I have absolutely no idea what is wrong.

The car attempts to start. The problem is caused from what is believed to be the engine over-heating..
