Depends on ecm.  For the C3 that your working on, I haven't seen any
mention of it in the stuff I've seen.  That it would apprear to matter,
also depends on what you trying to figure out.

 Injectors not only have resistive properties, but really is an inductive
load.  What you measure with an ohmmeter is not necessary what the ECM sees
during the cycling of the injector.

a 30W resistor, unless its wire-wound.

How about a 6, 20 ohm wire wounds and put an iron slug in the center.
