Default Weird Compression test results....

When I previously tested my engine all of the cylinders were between 225-235psi. This time when I did the test the results were 80-90psi. I had all of the plugs out, injectors unhooked, and cranking 4-5 times. What could be the difference?

Yeah, I propped the TB open with a wrench.

Probably the gauge since it's reading similarly on another LS1
