Question Trying to figureut the way to compression test my motor.

I searched a bit and was unsuccesful. Iwas wondering if any one could explain to me how i would go about compression testing my motor. I tried to take one of the plugs out and hand crank the motor, and i was unable to get any compression. I was able to get compresion when i tried to start the car. I was just thinking that if i had bad compression in two of the three chambers the good one would hide it on the compression tester i was using. Is my thinking logical or am i loosing it? PLEASE I NEED LOTS OF HELP?!?!?!?

You can't hand crank it. You have to "start" it. Remove the EGI relay and plug wires and fire away.
