Exclamation please help, my rx7 has been down for a month, tryed everything

It all started with me having no power...... That was an easy fix. My positive terminal was corroded. However, after I got power back, it still wouldnt start. I noticed the T1 coil was black, so i replaced it, along wiht all my plugs, and wires. Still wouldnt start. It started once, but sounded real wierd and had a super low idle. wouldnt start again. When you crank it, it makes an odd whining sound. I have a crane HI-6 installed, and this car started for a year and ran great with the current setup, Untill i lost power...... when I first lost power i disconnected the battery, to take it to autozone, by removing the positive terminal first, i know i know ..... the guy who installed the HI-6 had it hard wired to the battery, is my ignition fryed?????

sounds like and apex seal
take off the bottome two spark plugs and remove the ignition fuse (i think thats it) then turn the car over and have some one look and see if any thing is coming out of either hole if only 1 hole is shooting stuff its your apex seal

I like iceblue's idea way better... way easier... plus, you should be able to rent a compression checker from autozone (if you don't own one)
