how do i do a compression check for a 92 civic with a 94 ls engine

ok, i looked in c-speedracing's site and followed the instructions but am disappointed. first off, am i supposed to hear the engine crank or is it just quiet? secondly which fuses am i supposed to remove for the 92 civic? i went with the 15v fuse under the hood as stated in the site but i'm not sure if i'm removing the correct fuse.

i removed the 15v fuse, plugs and plug wires. tried to crank the engine but no sound and no compression readings.

ok here are the things that might effect this check: msd 6al, msd blaster 2 coil, and greddy turbo timer. would this things effect the test?

HELP. thanks in advance

pull the coil wire off your distributor. Since you have Msd6al just take the coil wire off. Next thing you need to do is this. Take out plugs and plug wires. Start from the number 1 and move left Insert in compression tester crank about 5-6 times and you should get a reading.
