Heat the car up to normal temp
Pull the fuel fuse
oil the o ring on the comp tester
screw it in
open the tb 100% turn the car over 5 or 6 times

This is only info that I remember reading a few days ago on h-t, someone else might wanna add to it.

Make sure to disable the ignition system so you don't fry your coil.

How do you open the TB 100% and where do you go to disconnect the coil? Thanks in advance.

make sure you pull the plugs out as not to load the starter, and the throttle should be wide open as well.
