b16a low compression?
they are the same all across the board, so its probably due to wear/tear/age on the engine.
are you sure you did the test properly? did you have the TB open (wot)?
Call honda or buy a helms for a B16 equipped car and find out what the service limit is for the compression test, but overall make sure you did it right
The only way to fix a low compression reading is to rebuilt the engine. more then likely the rings or valve seals arent working right. It could also mean it needs a valve job.

150 is about shot, but then again, so are most 17 year old motors. It had 70k put on it in japan, then it sat for 10 years (by the sea where salt ate away at it), finally imported to the US where its been in 3-4 cars totalling 150k. Yep, its about time for a rebuild. Seriously though, just like 4sd4dr said, you need to double check that you did the compression check right because generally there will be more variance then that if its shot.
