sounds like your rings are SHOT!! ... maybe you dont even have pistons left ... i mean NO compression.... now that takes talent

 

[djextremity]

[posol]

serously- if you made no compression, the car shouldn't even turn on.
re-do the test. sounds liek you did it wrong.

Odd as this may sound...your VTEC might be stuck on the radical lobe... that happened to my cousin's civic EX about a month ago.

One day she went out there and the car just cranked really really fast...

oops....wut i mean to say was da compression was low...not none

 

[Da One Wit Da Quickness]

i had replaced da starter n distributor because the distributor shaft was broken n i thought that was the problem but it turned out my compression was really low

 

[E_SolSi]

and i say again ... sounds like your rings are shot .... or like pissedoffsol said ... you could be doing something wrong

 

[B16]

other possibilities. . ..
burnt valves
bent valves
broken t-belt
t-belt jumped time
broken cam or crank pulley key
broken cam
etc. . .
