Low compression on all faces?

Hey guys. Car has been sitting in the garage for a couple months because I've been searching and reading non stop. Anyways my compression tester has yet to arrive so I did the poor man's again and my rear rotor has 3 pulses that are very weak. Diagnosis? Personally I have no idea... I've been trying everything figured I would ask before I sell this for pennies. It starts easily and idles until it starts warming up then it seems to go super rich and then the backfiring starts and it dies. One of the other weird things is I can pull the fuel pump relay and it will not die. I checked to see if it was wired differently but no luck there. Any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you!
