I've already determined that I have no compression (pulled the intake off and put my hand over it) Someone suggested I might have a stuck ring, and to put tranny fluid down the plug holes, let it soak for a few days, and then blow it out by cranking it over with the plugs out, and the fuel pump relay disconnected. Sound right to you david?
