Remove the spark plugs and pump 2 cc of engine oil into the cylinders. Crank the engine for a few seconds, Reinstall the spark plugs and try starting.

For the sparks, ensure they are bright blue.

Try some starting fluids.

For DLC, terminal # 16 must have battery voltage. If none found, check the fuses. Use a jumper across terminal # 4 and # 9 and turn ignition switch on. Note if CEL stays on or blinks.

Wet test of 120 psi seems rather low for compression.
Ignition timing, valve timing and firng order are correct?
What color of the sparks when you test the ignition coil? Wel sparks are possible cause for non starting.
Did you perform the test as indicated to retrieve trouble codes manually?
