if it "ran like a champ with lots of power" how would it lose compression that fast to the point it wont start?</end quote></div>

It happens in the blink of an eye . :-)

On a trail blazer 250 that dies off in a hurry compression loss is a likely culpret .

If it just quit running all of a sudden you may want to look at the simple things first. Make sure you did not knock the kill switch into the open position. Not trying to be smart cause I bet we have all done that at one time or another. May not be the problem but you never know.
