What about main fuel injection relay?
Did you checked it's connection?
It's the grey one VOLVO on the fan shroud.

Could be that cranking,when you re-checked compression,cleared the excessive fuel from cylinders.
Could be that it was just flooded.

clouds of smoke that's not black indicate not fuel related. you have a bad head gasket letting oil or coolant in to the cylinders. you have to give more info on coolant level and if this car is on the road or only started when you tinker with it.

2 years since OP checked in. You seldom learn anything from the “ humming bird on meth” approach to troubleshooting
