Icon6 92 civic vx only starts with starter fluid ? otherwise jus cranks for days.... help!!

I got this vx hatch and it was runnin fine til I let it run for a little to long in the driveway, it overheated so I turned it off, after that it would crank for days but wouldnt start, has spark, its getting fuel, but the compression all are 150 but ones 60, so I sprayed some starter fluid in the intake and it started right up and runs fine but wont start without it....

my question is there a easy fix for this?

i would undo your 60 compression cylinder and try starting it like that. the best you can do now is run on three cylinders, which is going to be a btich in a vx, unless you're looking to diagnose why its at 60.

Wat do you mean undo the 60 compression cylinder? It runs fine once started the problem is jus gettin it started, you think the low compression cylinder is causing the starting problem?
