I'm not too sure here why you paid 7k for a car you don't seem too enthused about.

Did you tune it before this 6psi run? Because odds are if you didn't, it went poof.

its something simple try new plugs like everyone is saying, make sure the grounds are all conected. If it was running good and then it wasnt, could be your disitributor, thats what my issue was, let the car sit for a month, took it for a ride, ran good, parked it wouldnt start again... ended up being the dizzy... so you could check that as well..

New plugs, check injector wires especially if your using individual resistors, check ignition coil spring by taking off distributor cap, re check all grounds, and get a tune, or have a pro look at it? If its something small and dumb, then the pro/tuner will most likely do it for next to nothing.

still nothing with the car....I reloaded a couple maps on the s300 and im still gettin nuttin. The car has 150psi on all cylinders which is low but the motor should still run. Im gunna pull the pan later this week and see what the ---- I bought. The car is worth what I paid for it, clean 96 ek with 90k 5 lug swap with Itr wheels. The motor has all high end parts on it....probably stolen. I am just at a complete loss as to how that can happen? I was getting some white smoke before it stalled out. I thought I might have blown some ring lands but I wouldnt be regestering even compression would I? I tested the compression on a cold motor open header with the throttle plate open. Car should start with no header on it correct?
