Did you try starting it with just the two rear spark plugs out as i suggested?

I'm curious as to why the back two plugs? What is there about those plugs that is different from the other four? What will be revealed by this troubleshooting technique?

Well, he said that it started losing power just before this occured and that spark, fuel and timing belt are ok. Sounds to me like a plugged exhaust. by removing the rear plugs, it gives someplace for the exhaust pressure to release and typically, the engine will start or attempt to start if that is the problem. This condition will also affect cranking compression readings.
