With the coil pulled and plugs out, the engine will not start and no CEL will turn on.

Do warm the engine for 1 minute or so, otherwise the rings could be without oil and skew the numbers to a very low level. Consistancy between all 5 numbers is what you want.

If you do use a cold engine, do it twice. The second time, add 1 tablespoon of oil to each cylinder so the rings get coated.

I do not expect your engine to have ring problems, quite rare with the 5 cyl engines.
