Could be the plugs, wires, coil, vacuum leaks, fuel pressure problem, injector and engine compression

I have change plugs,wires,distributor cup, rotor, fuel pressure regulator, oxygen sensor, injector, 0 ring of injector and cooland temperature sensor. Check the ignition coil resistance, the air intake temperature sensor, map sensor, throttle position sensor vacuum hoses for vacuum leaks and are okay. Except the hydrocarbons no other problem has been the engine. Start without problem and has good acceleration.

The main thing here could be an ignition misfire, lean fuel condition and engine compression-How's the engine compression

I have not even measuring compression. Evidence from gas analyzer
800 rpm
co% 0.05
co2% 15.79
hc(ppm) 187
02% 0.5
lambda 0.991

2600rpm
co% 0.01
co2% 15.85
hc(ppm) 16
02% 0.03
lambda 1.000

Do not know if I can understand something from the analysis of exhaust is causing the problem.

Thank you for your time.
