Hi
I drove my 2004 Grand Am with 218000 Km on it into town and dropped it off to the wife and when she left work the car wouldn’t start. 1 week before this happened I though I left the lights or something on when I had it in town because I had to boost the car to get it going, I put a new battery in. Thought it might be the security feature but the light is not on or blinking so I checked to make sure I had fuel and spark but still won’t start. I did a compression test just now and I have no compression in all 4 cylinders. Anyone have an idea what I should check next. Thanks

Does not have any noise other than it oturning over. I just did another compressino test and still mo copression. having trouble locating the IAV valve to give it a cleaning. Thanks
does your car have the 2.2 ecotec engine? I believe that is DOHC so you could inspect to make sure neither one of them has jumped a few teeth. I believe you might have mentioned that already, I cant remember
Well tried everything and still nothing so had it towed into Revive Autoshop Ltd2222 Shediac Rd, MONCTON, N.B and they told me the car has 2 timing chains and that it is a problem with the lower one. Can have it fixed and put back together and hope nothing else is wrong with it like a bent valve or something and tear it all apart again or just order another motor with less mileage on it for the difference in price I opt to order another motor and he will have me back up and running late Mon or Tues. Thanks again for all the help.
