Using a noid light, have you checked to see if there is power to the injector wire itself? It should be a pulsing power supply.

Don't have a noid light but I know one side of wire is showing 14 Volts. If I checked everything right. This stuff confuses me. And I'm at wits end. Could chewing the wires have shorted out the driver in ECM? That sounds on the extreme side but who knows. Thanks for your time

Anything is possible. Was the power pulsing?

That doesn't sound good. You should get a pulse. Check back at the pcm where the wire goes into it for that cylinder. If it is the same, something must have shorted out in the PCM.

But is that accurate being checked with a multimeter. And not with a noid light. Also codes have not been cleared can that have something to do with it?

Codes shouldn't have anything to do with it. As far as checking it, a noid light is what you should use, but if you show constant power, a noid light should show the same thing.
