are you still working this problem?

I think the brightness of the light will give you an indication of
changes of the pulses...

If you step on the gas I would think the light needs to get brighter..

Also I think at this point you can troubleshoot your problem with one
light connected to one injector... we are not checking the injector
itself but instead we are checking the signals that the ECM is sending
to the injectors... so far we havew no reason to think that the ECM
is sending the wrong signal to only one injector, so checking any one
should be the same as the others...
