My 1993 GEO Prizm which has had a crank no start problem for a while I just noticed that exaust sucks & carb blows I don't know what could be causing this but i'm pretty sure thats why is not starting. Any suggestions about what could be causing this wierd exaust sucks & carb blows problem?

I think I have a cheapy compression tester around here somewhere but I can say that it did happen suddenly and it cranks super easy likethere's no compression since it happened. Thanks
