Bite the bullet, and take it to your Honda dealer for their scope and computer diagnostics. I'd have absolutely no faith in a shop that broke your coil and then charged you to fix what they broke.

There are too many possibilities in a 17 yo car w/>100,000 miles. They boil down to air, spark, and fuel, but there are lots of permutations like vacuum leaks, valve timing, and more. So far, all you've mentioned checking are spark and compression.
