Default Compression Test questions

Gonna do a compression check on my 98 to try and figure out what's going wrong where.. Pull the plugs, screw in the guage, WOT, turn the engine over 3-4 times, check the guage and repeat 7 more times...

Am I missing anything else I need to do?

Do I need to pull the fuse out going to the fuel pump?

disable the ignition, too. also, do a dry test on all the cylinders, then do a wet test. it'll let you know if you have a ring problem.

I am also going to do a compression check. What is the proper way to disable the ignition system?
