IF you would explain what you are trying to test maybe we can help...?

leak down is about the only thing you can do

you can do compression check too, just apply 12v and gnd to the starter.. (watch for sparks!)

cool thats kinda what i was wondering. im just trying to check the health of the motor .

I would do leak down and bring a battery to do the compression. That is about it. Visual inspection I suppose.

I've seen a guy that had a engine and interior harness connected to a d series on a stand with an ECU sitting next to it, and he started it. heh.
