i have searched every were with no luck and have tried everything i can think of i have had integras for 6yrs and picked up the civic for better mileage
car has 118k
i was drriving to work in 5th gear doing about 60mph and it just died didnt spit or sputter

tried
new plugs and wires
fuel filter
dizzy
motor has spark checked ignition coil according to hayne s manual ok
checked timing perfect
plugs are wet when after cranking
all 4 plugs have spark
tried starting fluid wont fire
cranks fine
tried push starting
i have a cheap compression tester which worries me last check i did was115 150 150 150 i have ran b18a1 with alot worse
car didnt smoke at all some one said it could be rings not sure
car has spark fuel and compression the 3 things you need it will not even try to fire
no bubbles in oil radiator is still full
took all 4 plugs out and grounded them all and could see spark on all of them and they were firing at differnt times hard to check order bcuz they fire so fast

any thing will help thanks

Is spark bright white or weak orange or deep blue?

The low compression in cylinder one is the prime suspect. Do a cylinder leak down test to see where compression is lost.

Are the plug wires installed in the correct firing order? Are the injectors spraying fuel? Is the mechanical timing is dead on? If so, the bad cylinder is your problem.
