Low ohm reading on injector

I have a 99 f 350 7.3 and have a low reading on one injector at the valve cover connector. All read 3.1 ohms with the exception of one drivers side second (injector pin) back from the front of the engine. The one reads .2 ohms at the pin. Is this an indication of a bad connection at the injector or is it a bad injector? I have just replaced the g. plugs as well as both the harnesses.

From: Corvallis, OR

Either an internal short in the injector, or a wiring short between the injector and plug.

I am going out to take the cover off again and check it more thoroughly right to the injector.

I pulled the valve cover and took readings on the wire harness. Short in the connection. Took back the gasket/harness and replaced. Runs smooth and flawless. Thanks for such a great site, and the vast amounts of information.
