"As I recall, quickly opening the throttle alone resulted in an "acceleration shot" of fuel from the injectors. It was somewhat interesting. So now I was, in effect, performing a poor man's test of the entire D-jet system"

This is an easy check to see if the injectors are working. 1) Turn ignition on 2) Open throttle 3) You will hear the 20 clicks generated by the TPS 4) Test one injector at the time to see if you can feel the injectors opening and closing.

When the fuel pump is working for 2 seconds after turning ignition on you can almost ensure that the fuel system is working.
