[FONT=Courier][SIZE=7][COLOR=blue] My engine has lost power and I want to know what could cause low compression to two cylinders and how damaging this would be. Do i have to get a new engine or just replace parts? Your help would be greatly appreciated

low compression to two cylinders? I think you are vaguely confused, an rx7 has no cylinders, it is a pair of rotors, although losing power could be an indication of a blown engine, especially if it was a sudden loss, coupled with a noticable change in exhuast note, and hard/impossible idling, it could also be however, a vaccuum leak, weak clutch, or any number of other problems, more info is needed, and read about your car, nothing pisses me off more than an "enthusiast" who doesn't know **** about their own car
