Ok, I bought the tester, now I'm just wondering exactly how you do the test.

Well I suppose that's a pretty good reason. What's going on with it?

pull the ecu fuse, pull out the spark plugs, put the tester down where the plugs were, and then crank over the motor till the psi stops moving on the gauge

Opening the throttle would help...

So it's the ECU fuse ya pull.. thanks for the help, I pulled a 15 amp fuse in the top right corner of the fuse box by the clutch pedal and it wouldn't crank over, I think that may have been something else though.

The ECU fuse is in the engine compartment fuse block. It says ECU on the fuse block cover. I think its 15 amp?? Don't want to quote me on that one though.

Give each cylinder you are testing the same amount of cranks. So it will be a fair test
