It takes something like an AE to do the test.

Like Rick said, you will need some type of scan tool or hand held tuner with scanning and onboard testing capabilities. You are listening to the differences in the sound of each injector. If the injector fails electrically, a code for that injector will set. You will also notice the tach needle sweeping as each injector buzzes in succession.
