Default 00 Civic EX died while on highway

hi everyone, I have a 2000 civic ex that decided today wasn't the day to stay running. I decided to push the car today doing about 100 mph, then I felt the car losing power. I pulled to the side of the road and the car died. As soon as the car died the check engine light came on, it came on for a p0108 which is the map sensor. I replaced that and the car didn't start, then replaced the ignition coil because I didn't see spark, after replacing the coil I saw spark, but the car still won't start. I checked all the fuses and they are still good. I checked the camshaft and it's turning, I checked the belt and it hasn't snapped. I checked the fuel pump from the back to the front of the engine, fuel is pumping. At this point I'm completely lost. What do I do people? Any help is appreciated.

Bone stock 00 Civic EX?

Reset the ECU and then crank the engine for 30 seconds. Any CEL codes thrown?

Check the mechanical timing. If fine, compression test the cylinders.

Stock for the most part for the exception of a cold air intake that has sucked up small amounts of water here and there causing small misfires. I am assuming this may be the cause for low compression in the engine which I found out earlier today. Here are the number for each cylinder. 4 :130 3: 130 2: 95: 70

Do a cylinder leakdown test to determine where compression is lost.

The water may have destroyed the engine.
