I plan to do a compression check on an 94 Integra. I checked out c-speedracing.com and it says to pull the fuel FI injection fuse. Where would that be located? What is it labeled as? It also says to crank the motor 5 times... What does that exactly means?

just like it says. pull the spark plugs and the fuel fuse, thread the tester into the hole and turn the key and hold it over for 5 or 6 cranks, see what the reading is and move onto the next one.

I just pull the ECU fuse from inside the engine bay box.

I just put an alligator clip on my solenoid terminal to a small switch to the positive terminal on the battery, then I can hold the TB open by hand and crank it from under the hood. I crank it until it doesn't go up any more, usually 5-10 revolutions.

I've heard about the ecu fuse, I guess I'll do that. Rmcdaniels has a pretty good way of doing it!

you can buy a fancy switch for $10, like this:

My setup is even cheaper , maybe $5

This is the one I use, it is even cheaper and makes a HUGE difference since you can do it all yourself. I'm not sure if they have a HF in the Springs but everything in the store is on sale like 20% of the time.

I used to use a 50 cent alligator clip and touch it to the battery but it gets annoying holding it there and your hand/your car moves around.
