As long as one of the two relays is supplying power to each injector ..
the only thing that opens the injectors is the ecu supplying ground to
the other terminal on each injector.

They are batchfired ..that is all at once, in milliseconds, like they
are one big 4-part injector.
and with 4 wires from ecu to each injector I am pretty sure without
looking at Bentley ..
   if it's doing it to all 4 cylinders..
it sure can't be 4 grounded injector wireson their way from ecu to each
injector.
therefore ...most likely ecu.
