to replace coil packs so I fixed it and
the problem persisted,so I took it to a  
mechanic and he told me cylinders
1&2 have no compression but the
other 4 where good.now I don't know
what to do please help. Can this be
fixed or am I just screwed and have to
get another motor which I can't afford .
