Ground is provided by the PCM by switching a semiconductor (solid state) switch. Bottom line: A simple ohmmeter test will not suffice here.

Buy or rent yourself a set of "noid" style test lights. This will help confirm if the injectors are actually being "pulsed".

As said before, the injectors and COPS are ground start devices. Which means they have power "at all times". The devices are fired by the PCM completing the "path to ground".
