Nope, wouldn't test with a light, seems I've heard that somewhere before. I would buy a noid for testing. I was just curious as to how many volts was spose to be there. I'm getting to the point where I think my ECM may be toast anyways.
Here it the thread on the issues with my truck:

DNK if this pertains to your injectors or not, but the newer Haynes manual (99 thru 05) says to use a stethoscope(a long-bladed screwdriver as a substitute) to listen for clicking at each injector.

Step one says check all electrical connectors for tight connections and bad grounds.
