89 civic died after flooring it
So I left work on a rainy day and the ricer I am I did a rain burnout with all the power my stock ef has haha and then started sputtering/ back fire and soon as I left of the gas it died and wouldn't start back up. I'm getting my car towed home tonight and I want to gather up some information on where to start and work down a list of things to check.
here is a current issue the car has recently, cylinder 1 & 2, mostly 2 are getting oil in side the spark plug wells.

well i guess step one would be to make sure the motor still turns over
so i would try turning it by hand using a rachet on the crank pulley
make sure you spin it counter clockwise
just to make sure the motor wasnt REALLY over reved and something broke
if step one checks out fine and the motor turns as it should
then you can go and check for spark
thats step two
lots of times when motors are reved too high the distributors start acting up
the coils burn out or the igniters stop throwing out the voltage
id start with those two steps first and then go from there
what you did wasnt the wrong thing to do
its just what makes us human
we all have to let loose sometimes ^_-

I know when my MAP sensor was having trouble it would do this - stumble and die. Might be worth it to check the wiring and tubing in that area in case the spirited driving knocked something loose.
I know you did not mention that you touch the firing order but just to cross that off the list I would check that to make sure your firing order is correct. If you’re getting fuel and spark that means your main relay is good as well. How did you check compression exactly? I had a similar situation happened where a car had spark and fuel but low compression and would not start my solution was I took out each spark plug clean them and dumped a cap full of automatic transmission fluid in each cylinder what this did was it raised the compression slightly by seeping around the piston rings, when I want to crank the car, it started giving it enough compression to turn over just my method and shooting my two cents

You have an EGR? Check the pintle valve for carbon chunks. I have had that happen before in another car. Quick revs can dislodge carbon from the valves and lodge them there. With the EGR open at idle, it will not idle at all because it is running too lean. If your car normally runs rich, this could be the issue.
