I have a 1951 packard with a flat 8, the engine will crank but there is no compression. I thought it was the timing belt/gear but the cam is turning. Please help!!!

Has it been sitting a long time? It could be that the valves (or springs) are stuck or worn out. I am not that familiar with Packards, but used to work on ford flatheads. It is pretty easy to pull the heads on them to see what is going on in there.

2013 Cherry Tigo 2.0 TXE loose power when driving and come to a standstill. Engine cranked but does not start. What can be the problem

Try to diagnose the issue. That said, a professional mechanic with the diagnostic tools is likely needed. Restart the Vehicle: First, shut off the engine, wait for about 10 seconds, and then restart the vehicle. Sometimes, this simple reboot can reset any signal errors that might be causing the "reduced engine power" warning light. It's still a good idea to have a mechanic check it out. Since you've already changed the battery, it's essential to ensure that the new battery is functioning correctly. Check the battery connections, terminals, and cables. Also, inspect the electrical system for any loose or damaged wires. Fuel System: Verify that there are no fuel-related issues. Ensure that the fuel pump is working correctly, and there are no clogs or leaks in the fuel lines. Ignition System: The ignition system plays a crucial role in starting the engine. Check the spark plugs, ignition coils, and ignition control module. Faulty components in this system can prevent the engine from starting. Air Trapped in Cooling System: As suggested in one of the solutions, make sure there's no air trapped in the cooling system. Bleeding the air out can help maintain proper engine temperature and prevent starting issues. Remember that driving with the "reduced engine power" warning light on is not recommended.
