One quick test is to check the resistance between the two terminals, thats how i tested the two injectors that went on my car.

you need to get the flow test which you can't do it unless you got the machine

As long as they are the same flow rate it should run fine.

Then should solve your problem IF it is your injectors at fault.

Don't know about petrol cars but diesels have a number stamped on each injector. Due to tiny manufacturing tolerance errors every injector flows a slightly different quantity of fuel and that number must be programmed to the ecu. The ecu then corrects for the fact that each injector is slightly different.
They will run without the ecu programmed with the new injectors but it is not wise to run like that for a long time. Are petrol injectors the same?
