Pretty much detailed in previous posts with pictures o the harness plugs.

Maybe all of them are out of specification? The resistance test in indicative, but not definative concerning injector failure.

They can't be reset, if they "ohm" out of spec, it's an indication of them being bad, how bad is a "relative" term.

Sounds like you may need a full set , unless you believe your multi-meter/measuring device is bad.

it's a common issue to have a poor connection at the wiring harness connections. I had an injector go out and replaced the wiring harness for all injectors while I had the plenum off. If an injector goes bad electrically, it normally goes open loop. Your varied ohm readings would just mean to me that you could stand to have a new wiring harness. The only accurate way of ohm checking them is to check at the injector itself. Try wiggling the wire plugs where they connect to the injectors and see if it helps get the ohm readings down.
