Check where you spliced in the new pigtail. The IDM will shut the bank down to protect itself.

I've never heard of a bad IDM ruining injectors before. I doubt there is anything wrong with the injectors, but ohming out the coils is a good idea just to make sure that there isn't something else going on that the IDM is seeing and shutting down that bank of cylinders.
From each VC connector you're going to ohm the center pin of each connector (the common) to each pin on either side of it (the 2 injectors for that connector). Report back with your findings, but you're looking for about 3 ohms each and they should all be about the same.
