What are the variances based on color for testing purposes?

Does that mean that new injectors have to match the old ones by color code or all have to be replaced altogether?

the superior VE doesn't have that problem

does anyone know what will happen if used injectors with different color dots are mixed. Like putting 3 black dots in a VG that had 6 blue dots?

one can replace the other but only one way, they aren't completely interchangeable.

the blue dot can replace the black dot.
BUT the black dot should not be used to replace the blue dot unless done in a complete set.

I replaced 2 Blue injectors with two aftermarket ones without dots just a decal with BL on it. Is BL BLack or BLue? They seemed to work fine.

How do you test these injectors to see if they work? What are the ohm ratings for them?

ohm ratings are 10-14 and that will only tell you resistance which wil change with the temperature.
