fuel injector test?

how do you check to see if your fuel injector is working correctly?? my stealth is running on 5 cylinders, and my plugs/wires/coils are all good..... so i think it is the injector..... i posted here because the stealth forum sucks, and i thought all injectors can be tested the same way.

Test the resistance on the injectors terminals, and see if it falls within the given range, I dunno what the specs are for dodge so you will have to look that up, i think for the max it must be between 10-14 ohms but i'm not sure.

Pull the injector plugs (the ones that are accessible) out WHILE the engine is running rough, and not the change in engine running condition. If you pull one plug and the rough running stays the same, that cylinder may be dead.

Another helpful but inconclusive option is pulling the injectors. A cylinder that is not getting sufficient gas (too lean) will be white.

while i had the car running, i checked that stuff, thats how i realized it was the front center cylinder......now i am thinking it is a blown head gasket because it is puffing out white smoke....... tomorrow i will do a compression test, and it should help me out a little

i think 160 is good...... just check all of your cylinders..... they should be all about the same.
