Question about fuel rail.

I was getting an error code for one of my injectors, so I took all of my injectors out of the engine, then I plugged them back into the connectors in a different order to see if it was the wiring that was causing the problem or the injector. Next, with the injectors dangling from the connectors, I turned the key to read the error code and I noticed that when the fuel pump was priming there was fuel dumping into the cylinders from the fuel rail on the drivers side, but there wasn't anything coming out of the fuel rail on the other side. Is this normal or should there be an equal amt of fuel coming out on each side?

Wait -- you ran the pump with the injectors out of the rails? If so, then it is expected that only the driver's side will get fuel. The fuel normally travels from the rear driver side to the front driver side to the front passenger side to the rear passenger side. If all of it gets used up at the beginning of the line there won't be any for later.

Thanks...I wasnt sure how the injectors worked but now I understand that it is sort of a circuit. Sorry I am pretty new to all of this stuff. Thanks
