Did you find spark? Remove distributor cap and crank engine and see if the rotor is turning. If not, broken timing belt likely. |

Remove fuel line from throttle body and put it in a jar and turn the switch on and see if its pumping fuel. |

it should still run with compression numbers like that. May be try unbolting the exhaust. Never happened to me but could be a plugged cat. |

get someone to crank the engine and you watch the fuel injecter -- see if it sprays....... |

Even with low compression it is at least evenly low across all three cylinders and should fire. My guess isthe fuel injector. |

He may very well have a injector issue going on but it should also fire using starting fluid as he has also. I have seen engines with low compression that absoulutely would not start. Compression is vital. |
