180-210 psi depending on age, mileage.
more important that they are fairly similar to each other.
within 10psi per cylinder ideally

tester kit that i borrowed recommended 10 seconds
think you need to take all of the plugs out, not just the one from the cylinder you are testing.
obviously remove the coil lead,
also recommended to cut the fuel at the relay or fuse
