* Loss of compression means the cylinder is not able to build enough pressure to ignite the air-fuel mixture. This can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
* A damaged piston or piston ring
* A leaking valve
* A blown head gasket
* When one cylinder fails, it can disrupt the engine's balance and cause it to stall. The engine may also run rough or vibrate excessively.
* In some cases, a loss of compression in one cylinder can also lead to overheating. This is because the engine is working harder to compensate for the loss of power in the affected cylinder.
If your car shuts off and you are unable to turn it back on, it is important to have it diagnosed by a qualified mechanic. They will be able to determine the cause of the problem and recommend the necessary repairs.
