Too much voltage to fuel injector

IF YOU HAVE A SHORT TO GROUND (WHICH IS WHAT JERRY WANTS YOU TO CHECK FOR BY THE STUD) THEN YOU'LL READ A CONSTANT 12VOLTS WHICH MEANS THE INJECTOR IS FIRING ALL THE TIME. THE PCM CAN NO LONGER COMMAND AN INTERMITTENT GROUND TO FIRE THE INJECTOR IF YOUR ENGINE BLOCK IS PROVIDING A CONSTANT GROUND.

Stab your multimeter lead in the ground wire of the first injector with the key off and multimeter in continuity. Take your other lead and go to battery. As stated before, if you have continuity in this case, you have a short to ground.
Moving the wiring around to do that is likely to move it so it's no longer touching the stud and and thus no longer being shorted to ground. I'd start by take a look at the wiring as described above without using a multimeter to check for an improperly grounded wire which may not be there after pulling on it to probe it with the meter.

Very true. You could also back probe it so you're not moving the harness any. We're both saying the same thing, just using different means to find the issue. He already said he's getting a steady 12 volts at one with the key on while only stabbing the pigtail itself, which means its fully grounded. He's already proven he has a short to ground without realizing it IF what he's telling us is correct. Whether or not he's moved the harness around or not, who knows because I'm not there with him.

Just visually look around like Jerry is suggesting.

I'm not sure I see any bare wires there.... can't tell. I sure hope so.
If u look to the right side of the white wire, it is exposed copper wiring. And that matches the wire color of the 1st fuel injector.

also thank u itchydong, I’ll be harpin at confusing 20-something-year-olds in the forums when I’m a Jeep dad I’m sure 😎
