Honda Civic car has set for about a year. The car gets gas and fire but still wont run. Did oil compression check 150 on one and four and 135 on two and three. when first tried starting oil light would stay on when cranking. Now it goes out. Put new plugs in also.

2013, a long long time ago....
is probable sold now or is razor blades...

If there is water on 2 adjacent plugs, there's a good chance that it's a blown head gasket. Check the compression and if 2 adjacent cylinders have low compression, that would be another indicator of a bad head gasket. Unfortunately, you wont know for certain until it is disassembled.

The cylinders are probably washed down with fuel and it doesn't have enough compression to start. You need to also check to see if it is getting ignition spark. There are several thing it may be. The quickest thing you can try is let it sit overnight and then in the morning push the gas pedal to the floor and try starting it to clear flood it if it is not starting due to being flooded and cylinders being washed down with fuel.You should pull out a spark plug and see if its wet with fuel. If it is remove all the plugs and dry them out and maybe squirt a very small amount of oil down each cylinder to help seal the rings to bring up the compression. Do not get carried away with putting oil in the cylinders so you dont hydro lock the engine.

Hi, I have a way to test for a blown head gasket. Since you have good compression, yours would have to be small. Recommend you park on an incline, remove the radiator cap, set the heater on high, start the car and let it warm up until there is flow in the radiator. Fill the radiator and keep it full while the engine continues to run. Look for any bleed ports the system may have either in the hoses or at the attach point housings. Crack any bleeders open to allow any air out. Top off the radiator all the way to the neck and make sure there are no bubbles coming up. Bubbles coming out the radiator are an indication of a blown head gasket.
Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

You could have bad compression rings on that piston. I would do a compression test on that cylinder, also I would check the fuel injector.

Make sure your distruibutor rotor in turning while cranking engine, if it is timing belt ok, more then likely your not getting spark to spark plugs check your ignition coil, but more then likely it's going to be your ignition module.

check compression on all cylinders should be well over 100 psi. if ok double check timing could be one tooth out.

If your lazy... sounds like you might be in regards to this car than I would at least pull the plugs (inpect them for corrosion or damage and squirt oil in the cylinders not too much, you cant spin the engine after 4years without lubricating the motor. Than see if it combusts using starting fluid, it it does fire then address the fuel system and clean. Good Luck, I think you will be ok but 4 year old gas is like varnish...

Basic things,

Is the cranking speed good? Slow?

Is the fuel pump working? If yes..
Is the fuel filter clogged?

Are the drive teeth on the starter itself ok?

Do you have good compression in all cylinders (if it is low then assume a slipped timing belt.)

An engine needs 3 things to run: Fuel, compression, ignition.

Maybe the timing belt went out. Take off the dist cap and see if the rotor turns as you crank the engine.

Next run a compression test on all the cylinders.
