Either a bad injector resistor (if your obd0) or the injector itself could be bad. Test it with a multimeter and see if you get constant input, also try throwing on another injector.

sounds like a bad injector. swap it for another one. and see what happens.

OK here's what I did so far, I changed the resistor box, same thing, changed the injector, same thing, changed the wire from #1 to #2, then #2 started doing it, I don't know what else to change, I'm going nuts with this damn car

EZ fix... check your wiring at the ECU... you either have a crossed wire holding constant power to the injector, or you just have a wire in the wrong place... check the wires at all 4 injectors, you should have one that is constantly spraying, and one that doesn't spray at all, if it's what happened to my swap... turns out I read the diagram wrong and crossed two wires... put them on the wrong pinouts.

Check all that, and if you can't fix it that way, there is something more serious wrong. But I'd put it 2 to 1 that your problem lies in faulty injector wiring.

Problems you could have... bad injector, stuck open or shorted itself to ground.... or a short to ground between the injector and the ECU (the ECU provides ground, not power)... or the ECU is bad/shorted.

sweet, I'll check it out, I think I'll have to change the wiring harness, it kinda got fucked up a lil.. now some wires look all nasty, I'll post some pix, I just cant wait to make it stop sounding like a WRX and make it run like a scolded dog =)
