A “compressor failure”, or no compression? On a car like the Versa, the only compressor is the air conditioner, which is driven by the engine. If the compressor were seized, then it *could* prevent the engine from rotating. However, this is unlikely since there’s usually a clutch that will allow the compressor to disengage when the AC is off. It’s likely that you have a compression issue, meaning one or more of the cylinders are not getting sufficient compression. The cylinder needs the air/fuel mixture to be compressed in order to generate power.
