Check engine light went on. OBD Codes said 2 cyl with not enough spark. Replaced plugs, no help. Replaced
Coil. Check engine Light went out, performance still subpar. Tested compression - one cylinder with no compression now.

Replace engine? Or will a valve job solve the problem?
What is your guess as to least cost solution?

Thanks.
