280ZXT Engine Cylinder 2 & 3 Not Firing

Okay, so my Z was running fine except for the fact that the injectors were leaking fuel. I replaced all the injectors along with the seals. Now cylinder 2 & 3 are not firing. I placed a voltmeter at the injector connectors and it measures 0.3V (same as the other cylinders). There is spark at both cylinders and compression is good. I checked the dropping resistors for the injectors and they are all at 6 ohms. Any other thoughts on what to investigate?

Did you pull those plugs to see if they are wet or dry? Maybe the injectors still aren't spraying?

Are the replacement injectors new?

All of the replacement injectors are new. I will have to double check if the plugs were wet or not. I suspect the same thing, but how else can I confirm they are working "electrically" speaking? I ohmed them out and they are within spec. I measured the dropping resistor voltage and I measure voltage across the harness going into the injector. Am I missing something?

Figured it out. Had a bad electrical connection to the two injectors, but on top of that I one bad injector (one of the new replacement injectors....grrr!).
