I have never had it happen, but my understanding is if you have a shorted injector that the ECM will shut down that bank of injectors.

Indeed, if one injector is drawing more current than the ECM driver can produce it could cause all injectors on that bank to not perform.

You have a bad injector and it can make the injectors on that side not work. Try leaving the 3 ohm injector unplugged and see if it will start. You don't say what year vette you have, but early C4's had batch fire (all injectors fire at once).
