Default 1992 Honda Accord LX Coupe Won't Start After Compression Test??

Hi, I did a compression test on my 1992 Honda Accord LX Coupe Automatic with 269k miles.. The reason why I did the test was because the vehicle was lacking power and accelorated very slow from a stop.

Well after doing the test the car won't start! I have no idea as to why because before it started right up. I've checked all spark plug wires and the coil wire and they're all inserted correctly! Please help!

Here was my compression specs, can you guys tell me if this is normal??

Cyl 1 = 234, Cyl 2 = 225, Cyl 3 = 220, Cyl 4 = 230 according to my compression tester.

Do you have spark?

Are the plug wires in the correct order?

It's cranking pretty strong, just like when I was doing the compression test. How do I check if I have spark?

The wires are in the exact order as when taken off.. Which is when it started fine.
