Default Problem after doing a compression test

Hey guys, I did a cylinder compression test on my 1994 Honda Civic CX. I pulled all four spark plugs, but did not ground the wires or disable the ignition control. The results of the test were consistant-which was a good thing. But when I re-assembled the plugs and wires and tried to start the car- it would not fire up- just turned over. I am thinking that either the engine is flooded from doing the test OR I fried something in the ignition system. I found and replaced a blown 15A fuse in the engine compartment but of course the fuse diagram is missing and I cannot find out what that fuse is for. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

you can hurt the ignition coil by not have that spark.. it builds up in the coil and can burn it out..
test the coil or check for spark.. you probably dont have any.. either that or you crossed some plug wires...

I did check for a spark on the 3rd and 4th cylinder and I had nothing- I definetly did not mix up the plugs or wires-I probably smoked the ignition coil then-how do you check the ignition coil? Thanks for your response.
