On cathode ray tube (CRT) displays, increasing the refresh rate decreases flickering, thereby reducing eye strain. However, if a refresh rate is specified that is beyond what is recommended for the display, damage to the display can occur.
The loss of a cylinder...what does that mean. I believe my number 1 cylinder is either dead or at this point it's compression level is near 0. So with the car being a 98 Ford Taurus 6 cylinder/3.0 ohv engine, outside of just bad engine performance what else can i be looking at as the engine slowly dies. If it has near ZERO compression and you intend to continue driving until the bitter end you might disconnect the injector on that cylinder.
The short answer is, get to a mechanic to determine the cause. The real problem is you have a potential for overheating which could ultimately lead to warped cylinder heads if left unrepaired. Often a radiator or coolant leak is caught earlier enough to prevent this type of major repair from being necessary. However, any leak on your car should be addressed. I can guarantee you that it wonât go away by itself and it will not heal itself.
