The compression is the same for all cylinders(150), but when I turned motor over, water came out of #1 cylinder only. Any idea?

no oil in the water and no mayonnaise in the oil

Well that is good. Does it run OK? If so ignore it for the time being. A little water in combustion is actually good.
Aries Lee Jul 19, 2019

Water coming out of your spark plug cylinder is a indicator that the head gasket is broken near a cylinder and water in leaking into number 1 cylinder and being compressed by the position when then escapes through the outlet valve and causes steam to come out of the exhaust. Stop driving your vehicle because that is causing more damage you have 2 options replace the head gasket which starts from $2000 or reseal it with a quality sealer if its only minor damage to the gasket.

Suzuki samari JX 1987 engine miss.

Headgasket is blown between those 2 cylinders. Do a compression check on all cylinders probably between 150 - 180 lbs in good condition. Adjacent cylinders will be nil. If there is some pressure, say 50 lbs, check the valve clearances on all cylinders.

Why is there a cylinder 2 misfire?

Check these three things in the misfiring cylinder: spark, gas, and compression. One of them is wrong or missing. For spark check the spark plug and wire. Make sure you have spark on the plug wire, a strong blue spark. For gas, the fuel/air mixture may be wrong. Does the fuel injector pulse, putting gas into the cylinder? Possibly you may have a leaking injector or a clogged injector.

If gas and spark seem okay, you need to check compression in the cylinder. Low compression will cause a misfire. If compression is 20 or 25% lower than adjacent cylinders, that could be causing a misfire. For example, say numbers 1 and 3 cylinders had about 150 psi compression. 80% of 150 = 120, so if cylinder 2 is 120psi or less, that could be setting the misfire code. Low compression can be caused by valves not seating well, or bad piston rings, bad head gasket- something in the combustion area of the cylinder is losing compression.

Low compression cylinder 2 and 4

A mechanic doesn't know why the motor
has low compression ?

Wouldn't you conclude that person has no
test equipment or doesn't know how to use it

Obviously you have bad valves or a failed head gasket,
if only two cylinders are an issue

What causes diffrent compression levels on each cylinder

Carbon build up, burned valves and seats, piston ring wear, a general mechanic can tell you if the engine is having compression issues but you should have a cylinder leak test done to see where the problem is exactly.

What is compression suppose to be on 1988 ford 250xlt 351 winser

180 psi is good, but depends on the life of the engine, if yours is 150 psi all the rest of the cylinders have to be within 20% of the highest compression cylinder, so your allowed 120 psi on one of the other cylinders, it takes 80 psi to fire the cylinder anything less it will not fire.

Computer diagnosed o2 sensor, but problem is worse since changing, engine reves for about 1/4 mile before shifting

Check the transmission. The O2 was a problem but wasn't the root cause of teh problem. Also check the compression on all cylinders to make sure it is within 10 to 15 lbs of compression on each cylinder. ie If you have 135 psi on cylinder 1 all the cylinders should be between 125 and 150 psi. Extremely high or low psi on anyone cylinder when compared to the rest will cause this problem. You have described a situation where the motor is only running on 3 cylinders in a 4 cylinder motor or 4 to 5 cylinders in a 6 cylinder motor. The higher RPM is needed to get the same speed and result as a lower rpm in a motor using all cylinders on the motor.

2000 NEON NOT FIRING ON THE #1 CILENDER

#1 cylinder not firing, check spark plug, spark plug wire, remove spark plug and use a compression tester, and check the compression of that cylinder. should have at least 65 pounds of compression per cylinder. If the compression is low, you may try shooting a little oil in to that cylinder, replace spark plug, and try running motor again. if the compression is low on said cylinder, could be due to bad piston rings. requiring a motor rebuild.
