Well, turns-out that there is zero compression in cylinders 1 and 2; 155 in 3 and 4. Head Gasket is blown and the head is warped. Also, the head gasket had been replaced once about 10 years ago -- I believe the head was resurfaced at the time but don't recall for certain. In any event, the car is in the shop and the head will be replaced with a used good cylinder head.

Evidentily, when it turns out not a fuel or ignition problem check compression.

Thanks
