Angry It Wont Start

I have a '90 honda civic LX. The thing wont start. The distributer, plugs, and plug wires have been changed. I checked, and I am getting spark. I then thought is was fuel. Changed the filter and checked the pump, all ok. So I'm getting fuel, at least I know its getting through the filter. Tryed to jump it, that didnt work either. When I try to start it, It turns over, like its trying to start, but never does. I dont know what else to do. Any Ideas? Thanks

Did it start before you changed everything?

It started ok before the change, and even better after. They were changes about 4 months ago. I didnt think it was the starter because it tries to start.

How would I check compression? It has been difficult to start for about a month. Had to crank it a few times to start. Ran fine last time I drove it. Got home one night and woke up the next morning, and no start.
