i am having some engine knoises and i want to test both the injectors and the compression. I have EFI Live but i am not sure as to how i can turn off each injector individually to listen for a change in sound as well as how would i perform a compression test? Thank you.

EFI Live Scan Tool --> DVT (F12) Tab --> Underneath "Target Controller", select the "Control" Tab --> Start Engine, Connect to Vehicle (Ctrl+F3), Activate, then select injector to turn off.
Compression test is done through the glow plug hole.
