Hi everyone I've been looking to buy an abarth for the longest time and finally i bit the bullet and bought one, of course there's a catch the previous owner was only selling the car because the engine lost compression in cylinder 1. I haven't had the chance to look into the issue because I was at college finishing up my first year and I finally got around to it. I was pretty convinced that my multi air actuator was acting up but after doing a continuity test on the solenoids (I'm not sure that's how I'm supposed to do it) they all came back as working. I ended up taking off the valve cover and the actuator but when pooping it off the keyways only popped off on one side so it was skewed at an angle coming off. And while taking it off completely one of the two sticky downy bits for cylinder 2(not sure what the real term is) came off. I have heard that they are not supposed to just pop off and I assumed that I did a big oops (correct me if I'm wrong). In response to this I decided to put all the parts back on and see if it will run again, torqueing the actuator and plugging in all the lines and connections. I even tried priming the actuator to help it run after taking it out and spilling oil all over my driveway. so in conclusion.... I Kurt Vitin of 18 years of age successfully made my 4 cylinder running on 3, run on 2. I look forward to taking part in this community and would be ecstatic if someone would be as kind to tell me my mistakes. Thanks!
