96 civic stalling out, help!

alright fellas so last week my car was starting and running fine and occasionally when I would come to a stop then accelerate, it would act like it would stall out, and sometimes it would. its an automatic btw. recently it got so bad that the car would just bog out and stall as soon as the gas pedal is pressed. now the car wont even start. so me and my dad went thru the routine and checked everything. we think its a fuel problem. so far iv replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump and pcv valve. I cleaned the MAF sensor/throttle body and the idle air control valve. reading other forums people suggest changing the IACV but was wondering if anyone has had this problem and knows of other things that could be wrong or ways to fix it.

Does it have spark?
How much spark does it have?
Can the spark jump a 1/2" gap at the end of the plug wires?

Does it have compression?
How much compression does it have?

Are the plugs wet or dry?
