Default 94 ej1 no start. fuel, spark, timing good

So i know the next question and that would be if I did a compression test, and yes I did. But Ill give you a little background. Does not leak or burn oil. No oil in coolant. Tested coil and control module in distributor and were fine. Pulled a wire and spark plug and verified spark. Can hear fuel pump working and smell gas when I crank. Sprayed starting fluid in the intake to check if fuel related. Pulled the timing belt thinking maybe it has slipped but its dead on.
150,60,150,90 were the numbers I got with engine cold. I agree thats not good but what can cause that to happen? I was driving it and stopped at a stop sign, went to take off and it just died. No other indication or cel. Im new to hondas but not to wrenching. Really stumped on this one and would like to know what you guys think, thanks! I have searched

You obviously have two dead cylinders. Do a cylinder leak down test to determine where compression is lost.

Turns out something in the distributor went bad. Although the control module and coil ohmed out fine. Runs like a champ now

^Doesn't explain the compression test results. I assume that the compression test was done incorrectly.
