I have retimed it 5 times, the car has fuel, spark and compression at 110 on each cylinder. 110 is not crazy high but enough to start. Ran codes on the scanner and got idle air controller bad and another Manufacture code 1297 which i don't what that one is. No one can figure out why it wont start, my neighbor is a mechanic and even he cant figure it out. THanks if you guys can give me any adivce or help.
110 is hella low compression..im getting 170 across the board for a motor that has a little under 80K on it , all original.

Also if you had no oil pressure and were running the car , you may have bigger problems then compression. You are supposed to manually prime your system :/
