This is all good advice (as usual!)

I would also check the resistance of the injectors.  It is common for
one or more to internally short.  When this happens the computer sees it
as a direct short and will not fire the injectors.  I believe that they
should be between 10-12 ohm each on that car.  They also have a tendency
to be fine until warm, then more may fail.
