Default Running hard at high rpms, then check engine light, code 16 help!

Just finished MPFI swap. Car was running good. Me and my buddy go for run down the block and I deside to run her a little hard. All of a sudden the check engine light comes on and the idle drops really low and we take her home. Book says fuel injectors. I have no idea what to do. What could the problem be guys?

A code 16 will set if there is a break in the electrical path for the injectors. This includes main relay, injector resistor if you've got them, injector coils, connectors and all the wiring in between.

The injectors see +volts all the time. The ECU completes the circuit to ground for whatever pulse duration is called for depending on the current operating conditions.
