I was doing a compression test with a remote stater on a 1987 Nissan Sentra. After finishing the test and putting back on the spark plugs and plug wires I try starting the car. The engine would not crank at all. I held the key in start for about ten seconds and the ingnition (ING SW) fuse link began to burn. All relays and fueses in the car were then checked to ensure that they were all working. Any info you can provide will be helpful

Sounds like the starter got too hot and started to draw too many amps. I'd replace the fuseable link that blew and try again. If it doesn't blow, then that was the case. If it does it again, then you need to track down the wiring and find the source of the draw.
