Engine management light on P2300. Replaced coil plug as was broken replaced coil and leads and plugs with new ones it has spark and it has fuel will not start. I did a compression test cylinder one 120 psi, cylinder two 90 psi, cylinder three 60 psi, and cylinder four 120 psi, not too off. The four cylinders are down but var was running up to piony the wire broke in the coil pack plug.
Any suggestions please?

I would try a leak down test to see if you can locate the problem that is dropping the compression. That low on two cylinders will make it very hard to get it running especially if it's a bad head gasket between 2 and 3.
