compression test question

As I said, it may bring them up 5lbs on the gauge at most. Think about it....the engine will run at idle with the throttle in the same position as when you're doing the compression test so there is enough air flow to produce compression under those circumstances plus if you have all the plugs out, you only need to draw air for the one cylinder you're testing. The others will move air in and out their spark plug hole.

unless all the vacuum from the running cylinders at idle opens the throtle valve a bit, but I dont think this happens
