Joe, you're such a nice guy! But I wonder out loud if the resistance was
measured at 1.9ohms BEFORE he applied 12V directly, or AFTER. Hee. Even
if smoke didn't escape, if 12V doesn't make the injector clatter,
NOTHING will. Lemme see, hmm 2 ohms static means 6A flowing thru an
injector that's probably made to HOLD with somewhere between 0.5A and
0.75A max. Whelp, me I'd guess it's fried. But if it WAS fried, it
wouldn't measure 1.9ohms any more. Mysteries abound, eh?

But then, hell, whadawino?
