Uhhhhhh, there is a reason why injectors have a minimum offtime and
a maximum duty cycle.  You put a constant 12V on a Rochestor injector
and it will get *HOT*, and melt the windings, even with fuel flowing
through them.  I toasted a nice 33lb/hr MSD injector this way...
(had tried to put a scope on the injector, it pulled ground through
the scope).
