ok to start off the car is a 1G Auto NT. Basically, the other day the car died while I was accelerating and now it wont start. It just cranks and doesnt sound like its even trying to start. I know that there is fuel going through the rail while cranking and I also have spark. At the time this happened my trans was low on fluid and my coolent level sensor is broke. I dont think that has anything to do with it but I figured Id just mention it in case. I dont konw what else to check. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also just checked the compression with the engine cold and found that once cylinder held about 60psi, another 30psi, and the other two had no compression at all.
 
Bent valves because of bad timing I'm betting. Check your timing marks. Gonna need to pull the head off and replace all valves, new head gasket and get it decked. If its the 2.0 motor, you can get a better deal just buying a used head here on tuners and slapping it on.

Good luck,
