I want to know if anyone has experience any thing like this. The engine was running great at about 65 mph the check engine light started flashing. Had it checked out at a repair shop, the engine is said to have low compression in one cylinder very low at 15psi the others are at about 175-215psi. is there a need for an engine replacement, or could this be a blown head gasket? this is a 1997 2.0L non-turbo engine. Engine does not smoke just idles rough, and runs hard but can be moved.

If no oil or water are being burnt/used its more likely to be a burnt out exhaust valve.
Sort it quickly, its going to be a 'head off' job, but a replacement valve is a lot cheaper than a replacement head.
