Rear rotor dosent fire? or it dosent have compression?

Either 1) Check your spark plugs, wires and coil.
Or 2) You need a engine rebuild.

Go get a compression test on your engine.

More info ... does it try to start? What kind of gas are you using? What happen before it didn't start? I would say make sure your battery has enough juice and check the plugs. We definitely need more info.

Just do a compression test to rule that out, once the compression is ruled out give us as much info as you know about the issue.

Have you replaced plugs? Have you tried starting it with starting fluid? Results?
