Off the top of my head, ohms for the injectors SHOULD be around the 10-12 ohm range. Just take a DMM (that's digital multimeter, for those NOT in the know), set it for "ohm", put both leads on the "+" and "-" pin on the injector itself.

sounds like an injector

to check the front injectros on the vg theres a plug on the right side below the egr valve it has 4 pins theres one for ground and the other 3 are the 3 injectors so you have to keep you black meter leed on the ground and swith the red to the other 3 the backs you just unplug each one and check them induvidually like stated above

and i also believe its 10 to 14 ohms but if one reads nothing its bad
