I have a 1994 Honda Prelude Si non v-tech i recently changed distributor and spark plugs. Before i changed sparks car was running rough it had a lag to take off and sometimes lost power while at around 40-50mph (had to really gas it or would slow) so adjusted timing. After it would just idle at like 300 rpm and couldn't take off at all now it doesn't start gave code 8. We check spark plugs they have sparks, checked compression was like between 120-123 was pretty balanced but low and found theirs low air flow(has a cold air intake).Cant figure out why its not turning on. I also changed some fuses because some where blown.

Sounds like the catalitic converter/s are clogged up. This would cause low air flow and low compression. I've seen them so bad that they dropped the compression down to 60 lbs.

if you have changed the distributor cap,rotor button,spark plug wires and plugs and you still dont have fire then its most likely your distributor.first check the fuses or relays if you have replaced those items.
take pipe of carb turn over see if fuel comong out,if not check fuel filter ,check plugs for spark,no spark check points on distributor. fuel/spark ok check timeing.if fuel/sprk/timeing ok check carb/jets for dirt ect;
Smoking out the tailpipe is usually caused by worn rings, or really worn valve guide seals. (if it is an oil smoke) If it is a black smoke, it is running too rich, maybe an injector leaking or stuck open.
I suspect that your spark plug wires or your distributor is going out. Check your spark wires and distributor. To do that take out #1 spark plug wire from the spark plug. Next take out your spark plug then put it in the spark plug wire. Then turn on car and take a look at the spark plug to see if it's getting a spark. Do this with all the spark plug. If it is your spark plug wire I would replace all of them.
