I keep saying I'm gonna fix my car one day, but money is elusive and time makes money look abundant. *But I finally picked up a multi meter today. *Employees get an amazing discount at the parts store I work for, so it was under twelve bucks before tax. *Can't hardly beat that!
I've done the stethoscope trick on all of my injectors but one, which I believe is cylinder 6. *There is just too much stuff in the way to access it. *Cyl 8 sounds iffy, and cyl 5 sounds like it's on a coffee break. So I disconnect cyl 7 injector so that I can get a good reference, since I believe that one to be good (nice loud clicking when stethoscoped.) *I measured it's resistance at 17.4. I moved over to one of my weaker sounding ones, namely cyl 5, and I measured resistance at a heart-stopping 1.4. *I'll check more of them when the car has cooled off, but I just drove it home from work, so I only did a couple that were easy to access. *I'll let you guys know what I find.
I also pulled, checked, and re-installed all my spark plugs in the last week. *The one at cyl 5 was, I believe, the original plug from the car, and ACDelco with no remaining electrode. *I hoped that would fix the miss but now I know why it didn't.
As a side note, if anyone drives a car with compatible injectors and has upgraded but has the old ones stored somewhere, I might want to take them off your hands. *PM me.

For some reason I see little (*) asterisk stars all over my post. *Let me know if you see them too. *I don't know why they are there.
