Best Answer

Primarily the result will be incomplete burn of the mixture or no ignition at all. Reduced compression reduces the particle pressure of the molecules in the cylinder resulting in variations of the burn pattern. This results in uneven pressure build up in the cylinder which manifests itself in a lack of power. Thus drivability of the vehicle is affected.
