That is odd. The only explanations I can think of is stuck valves ( but three our of 4 ), or a broken camshaft or chain/belt which I guess is possible, but then, it shouldn't run at all. Remove rocker cover and look inside. Zero compression is very odd.
I think you should check your battery and alternator.If they both check good you may have a battery draw,something draining the battery over night.Check your doors make sure they are closing like they should.
sounds like water ingress to either a control module or the coil pack, check all control box locations eg footwells for water and then check the engine bay for loose or naked wires, dry and clean and possibly cover with a plastic bag etc and it should be fine.
check fuel if low it my not start gauge is wrong to check and see if it is a fuel problem spray starter fluid into wher the air filter is if it starts check fuel pump
The Symptoms tell me it is a head gasket. A leaky or bad head gasket would cause all of the problems that you mentioned.
Burning water causes White Smoke, Burning Oil causes Black Smoke. The oil and water are mixing with the gas in the cylinders and causing it to run bad. Pull out the dipstick and look at the oil on it. Does it look like good oil? Or does it look watery and or foamy or grey colored. Open up the radiator and look inside, do you see oil?
This seems almost text book to me... I would have someone local to you to have a look at it to be sure.
I would jumpstart the car and let it run for 15 minutes.If it doesent stay running the altenator is bad--if it stays running and the next morning it doesnt start the battery is bad.
