Pontiac Grand Am Compression Problem

My car use to run great with nothing wrong with it then one day I was driving it and it shut off on me and now it will turn over but won't start! The Chevy dealer says four of the six compressions are bad but say that could be anything then! The engine is getting gas and spark but we don't know why it won't start! Any ideas?
