Wrap bare wire around the body of each injector and then connect
one end to the computer case.

Won't do any good but there you go...

Wanna start over with make, model, year, engine, worthless
aftermarket accessories installed, etc?

the injectors are grounded by the computer,thats how they fire. test for
power at the injectors first with a test light,then using a 12 volt
bulb,bend the conectors on the bulb straight and insert them into the
injectors wiring plug. have someone crank the engine and watch to see if
the bulb flashes. If it flashes you have an injector pulse and the
injector is likley at fault. if no flash occours then you need to check
power and ground at the pcm.
