Default Injector not working ?

My car is running on 5 cyls atm and i have found out that no 1 isnt working. Ive got strong spark so im thinking it could be the injector. How can i find out if its the wiring or the injector itself ?

Also, how much voltage should the injector be receiving to work correctly ? I connected my volt meter to the plug and its isolating from 0.10V to 0.25V but im guessing its because my meter isnt fast enough to read the voltage properly.

youve checked the plug is working too and not just the lead?

you can buy solenoid testers that will tell you the injector is firing by flashing, but you should be able to feel it with your fingers
