It's likely the coil, but you're likely not measuring the voltage w/key to start and the ECU is what fires the coil so it has to have the proper power w/key to start. And did you ever test the trailing coil? If it works properly then of course your problem lies within the coil/igniter.

Everything I could find online about checking compression says to start the car and get it warm. I tried deflooding it because the plugs did have a little fuel on them. I cant tell if theres coolant in the fuel.

Just rolling the engine over with a tester in it will give you a real good idea if there is a decent amount if compression.
The reason for doing it HOT is to get a more accurate reading.

Giotto looking at the plugs and someone had just replaced them but they were all 4 trailing plugs so I'm going to get two leading plugs and try it. But two of the plugs look perfect.
