Have you checked for a possible ground issue or a short to power?

Yes, because the fuel injector has power all the time and the PCM uses the ground circuit to pulse the fuel injector. It sounds like you have a bad ground for the PCm, here is a guide to help you test the grounds and the PCM wiring diagram so you can see how the system works and where the grounds are.

I have marked the grounds for you so you can do the testing. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes
