Update?

I did get the truck running again. I purchased another IDM and it started but still wasn't running right, and now the check engine light was on. But at least it would start now. I found a wiring schematic online and was able to use my multimeter to see what my injector resistance was at the Harness where it plugs into the IDM. Well even though I already pull the valve covers and checked the gasket harness, my multimeter was telling me that I had an issue on the passanger side. I then pulled the cover again and push in on all the wiring connecters. Testing it again showed that everything was now normal. I found that the injector harness where it plugs into the gasket had a clip that would allow it com apart. I took my heat gun softened up the clip, bent it out so that it would grab and not come apart again. I'm guessing that when I left the house and it started running rough, the harness had come apart and I was only on 4 cylinders, while tring to make it around the block to get it home it ended up frying my IDM. I'm just happy that it's running again.
