hey so lately my cars been running rough off and on , So i tested my injectors and did a balance test on them (bad injector was found) my injector is stuck open(no continuity) with 75 ohms sometimes, (most of the time ) its ohm range is anywhere from 13 ohms to 25 with it closed and my car runs fine (tested with continuity tester ) but my question is why is it doing it? why can the injector fix itself? Like ive pulled the injector plug and nothing changed (still rough idle) but if i keep it running eventually the ohms drop and it runs like a beast like nothings wrong at all, (doesnt matter if its hot or cold , currently running 390cc auto turbo injectors with resister pack and they are suppose to be (5 ohms) not 13,75,23 ohms are some values i remember just trying to figure this out (got new injectors and fpr so it can go back to non turbo fuel system just dont have the time and light after work when its -20c outside , has this happend to anyone? thanks
 
I have had my 1G do the exact same thing. As well as many vehicles thru work have the same problem.
The injector's windings fail, the problem can be triggered by heat & vibration (or the combination of the two) .
Thus intermittent misfires come & go.
