Unplug all of the fuel injectors before testing them. With the engine off, there will be 12V on all the wire from where the injectors get their power feed all the way to the injector control pins at the computer when the injector is plugged in because it completes the circuit. Resistance doesn't reduce voltage if there is no current. The only time they won't show 12V at the computer is for the moment that the circuit is grounded (again when the injectors are plugged in).
