So you're only supposed to remove one plug at a time? I was also wondering about the throttle-wide-open part. I read in the archives that that's the best way, but I don't really know. I suppose theoretically it lets more air into the compression chamber. I'd like to see how others run their compression checks. It seems like everyone has their favorite way. Is there a consensus on this?
