Two of my injectors wouldn't run so I went to test the wiring. Looking at the car head on, the two cylinders closest to the timing belt aren't getting any power.

I'm at a loss when it comes to electrical, is there anything besides a bad wire that could cause my two injector pigtails not to receive power?
 
Start by measuring the resistance of the resistor pack. You should have 5.5 - 6.5 ohms on pins
1, 4, 5, and 6 while using pin 3 as the negative. Next you can test continuity of the wires themselves. 4 wires go to the resistor pack (1 on each plug) and the other 4 go to the ECU.

Injector pin out at the ECU is as followed:

  • Injector 1 Pin 51 Wire color Yellow Blue
  • Injector 2 Pin 52 Wire color Yellow Black
  • Injector 3 Pin 60 Wire color Light green
  • Injector 4 Pin 61 Wire color Light green White

  • Injector #1 to resistor pack is Black Yellow and is pin #1 on the plug.
  • Injector #2 to resistor pack is Black Yellow and is pin #4 on the plug.

You are just putting the multimeter lead ends at both ends of the wire and verifying you have a complete circuit. If you have continuity on all 8 wires, inspect the ECU board for any damage.

You can also test to make sure the injectors work prior to this by taking a 9v battery and using it to apply power to the injector itself. You should hear a click which is the magnet inside the injector moving.

Already did this and the injectors are fine, it's definitely an electrical problem unfortunately. I'll test the wires of having a complete circuit next. Thanks

Any other suggestions on what to test?
