Measure the resistance AT each injector, compare them.
They should be CLOSE to the same for each of them.
You need to disconnect each injector, measure the injector then don't
connect them.
Get another fuse form your now VAST supply, and try it.
If all the injectors are good, then the fuse should blow. If the fuse does
not blow, plug each injector in one at a time and turn the ignition on after
reconnecting each injector.
You should at some point blow the fuse or perhaps start the car ;-)
Process of elimination is a VERY effective form of troubleshooting. It may
not be the most sophisticated way, but can work wonders.

I will try to get you the schematics at the computer for you and mail
directly to you.
