One injector not working. (tbi)

One of my fuel injectors is not spraying. I checked all the fuses, and for just a second swapped the harness around between injectors and the one that wasn't working did and the one that did work didn't. so the injector is fine but something is wrong with the wiring. I checked the harness and it is fine and getting a good connection.

how should i check for voltage on the lines and what could possible causes be. thanks

$5 dollars says its a fuse, re-check them. I know you did already, but I had this same problem with my 89 toliet bowl injection.

Damn injector would stop spraying and the car would barely make enough power to go 25mph. And it'd do this on an off.

Turned out to be a fuse that kept buring out. I replaced it with a larger fuse.

HEY pennylessz28 replaced the fuse with a bigger one??? thats not good bro. there is a reason why that fuse is going out. it means that too much current is flowing in the wires. you should get that checked out before you mess somthing up, not just your fuse.
