Sorry for the belated response. By the way, thanks everybody for your feedback the Collective knowledge here is second to none. In my case, you may not want to know how all turned out. I finally decided to take my car to Vortex Motorsport (its right near where I live as it turned out) and after a thorough diagnosis it seems my engine is dead. There was no compression in any of the cylinders in the left bank and the starter its just spinning without any reaction. It seemed pointless to keep looking after that. Chucky is out for the count and I’m looking for a replacement engine...

Hope you had better luck. In the meantime I’m keeping my ears open for any possible donor of a low mileage 2.5L or early 2.7.....any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Just for our general education. Why would 3 cylinders suddenly have no compression?

Wow thats terrible news.did you get a second opinion.seems weird that it would just die like that.on mine still tryjng to figure it out.im pretty sure I hear the fuel pump from behind the dash.but I dont think i have any spark .
