Default question about testing injector circuts

Can I used a noid light to check the injcetor circuts IF I have the manifold off? My plan was to pull the fuel pump fuse and crank the engire over to illuminate the lights. Will this work?

I think it will but only for a brief time I think. The car will sense no fuel pressure and stop trying I seem to recall. You could do one at a time while the car is together, you will have a miss and may set a misfire code.

You can also use a mechanic stethescope and listen to the injector ticking.

I currently have missfire code (200 and 305). I have taken the injector off and tested it with an ohmmeter (12.3, within .2 of others).
I am trying to deterine if I have a wiring issure or bad injector. The wires don't appear damaged or frayed. I would like to verify the status of the injector without having to put it alll back together.

Could be a clogged injector.

FYI the NIOD test worked with fuse #13 pulled. Found a damage wire.

Thanks Doug.
