You can check the injectors easily with a part called a "noid light" most auto parts stores have them.
It would be a good idea to find a way to get a fuel pressure gauge as well. Since you said you have spark you need to know if you have fuel pressure.
The ECM problem is worrisome too. Maybe you should call the place that repaired it and tell them that you are still getting the code.
