Icon5 99 Civic EX won't start

My Civic was parked all winter long now it won't start. I have replaced spark plugs, cab and rotor and the ignition coil. Still won't start. Have spark. Have fuel but I'm not sure if the pressure is good. Also did a compression test. 130psi, 90psi, 60psi and 60ps. Cylinder 2,3,4 are low but it should start and run funny ( like misfired) but it turn over and won't start. Any idea where I should start next? Thank guys!!

Unplug the fuel injectors, and then repeat the compression test with one tablespoon of oil added to each cylinder. Also make sure you are doing the test at WOT.

Thank you for the comments guys. After doing many cranking and compression tested again. The alternator belt broke off and the car started. It's turned out that my Alternator seized up. Car run now.

Never a mention of a cranking problem.
