One out of range would indicate a bad solenoid. Test these at the valve cover or at the injector itself with a pigtail or old harness cut and plugged in.
Anybody have pics of how to do this? What do I need? multimeter?

I am lost...

It is kind a pain in the but to test but test C to I four times on that side using a DVM. A auto ranging one makes life a lot easier. Put one lead on I and the other on C. Repeat this four times on the different I wires. Should be around 3.2. Just make sure they are all reading pretty consistent.

I used to have pics. It is not real hard, just tedious. Climb up there, disconnect the plug and get busy. It is the UVC connector and the only one in the middle of the head right at the valve cover.

The plug that is stuck in the middle by the ccv? I tried to get that open but I was afraid of breaking it.

It is the one that I previously described located at the top of both heads on the valley side of the valve cover. I would post a pic but I lost my computer a while ago and now I suck in that department. Also, those pins are very small and close together so make sure you are probing what you want.

Yes, the connector has a keeper setup. Just pry it slightly and it will come apart.

No! If you are referring to the one on the bracket that is bolted on. That one actually comes apart pretty easily too though. That one will pretty much disconnect all of your sensors, injectors glow plugs etc.
