Injector OHM readings

This last week I was having some issues in my offroad lexus powered buggy.

Started checking random things and one of the things I came across was that all the injectors were reading out of spec. If memory serves Toyota calls for 13.2 to 14.2. All 6 that were easy to get to got checked and all six measured around 14.8 ohm's. Should I be worried about this or could this be adding to my driveibilty issues?

One thing we found was bad ignition wires. So that is on the agenda to be fixed. Also did some repairs on the fuel system.

What resistance are your multimeter leads?
Most leads will be about 0.6-0.8ohms.

Not sure. When I pulled out my multimeter it was dead so I had to borrow one. I will retest this week with mine. Is it normal for these injectors to be noisy? I can here lots of injector noise.

Should just be a tick-tick-tick when it fires.

Resistance will change with different leads as previously stated, but will also change with temp. 14.8 on a 14.2 spec should not make any difference.

If you're using an aftermarket rail with no pulsation dampner, they'll be noisier than the OEM setup.
