Default Re: '89 CRX won't start - frustration

I could not tell the strength of the spark because I was inside the car
turning the ignition and wathcing the spark through the winshield. Could
have been a weak spark but there was spark on all 4 cylinders. I hear that
spark is a lot easier at atmospheric pressure as opposed to the compression
pressure inside the cylinder and that makes sanse to me (I'm a physicist).
So could it be that the spark is strong enough to spark at atmospheric
pressure but not inside the cylinder?
