Default CEL code 16: Fuel Injectors

1995 EX
d16z6 turbo w/ 133k miles, 8-10k w/ the turbo setup
stock fuel system
450cc injectors

Getting a CEL on the way up and back from PSU this weekend... this is my first real problem with the setup. Please help me out and let me know what I can do to fix this. I'm reading the helm's manual now, since its not stock, any guidance would be very much appreciated, especially people who have had this problem with this very common setup! THANK YOU!

ok... so i re-soldered the connection to the resistor box bc it had some "cold" solders. i unclipped and re-attached the injector clips. i took it for a test drive, beat the **** out of it but it never threw the CEL or gave me any type of problems.

i was speeding/boosting up a hill trying to put a strain on everything... passed a cop and saw him turning around in the rear view, but I was able to duck into my neighborhood and put the car in the garage haha

ok... so now its not broke, should i still try to *fix* it or just plan on it not coming back?
