injector loom as its a prime suspect and a common fault on the boa as they tend to melt due too where they are run in the factory

That didnt really answer my question.

Just use your eyes and a multimeter either way.

I have fuel too the engine, I have spark and will fire up with easy start for few seconds, been told by 6 reputable people it is an injector loom fault! As I said it looks can be deceiving.

So once again, what exactly are you trying to test ?

"Loom" is very unspecific.

continuity check and resistance check at each end of every wire would be a start?

if you are trying to see if the injector earths are pulsing,
that doesn`t tell you they are squirting fuel,
removing them from engine and hooking up to the fuel rail would do 2 tests at same time, but yes you can probe the wire on each injector to check if its pulsing, by slipping a probe with a test light, into the back of the plug on each injector plug
, I believe the live is constant to each injector with ignition on, and the earth wire is pulsed by the ecu
