Something is odd about this manual. It was one I bought from an Ebay seller,
and it came in .PDF format on a CD. It appears to be a scanned copy of the
real thing, and has the Honda logo and "(C) 1987 Honda Motor Co." on the
front cover. Here's a screengrab of the flowchart I was referring to:

There seem to be other inconsistencies with this manual. For one, it
refers to an injector resistor which doesn't exist. It also has no mention
of the rear drum brakes, instead it shows disc brakes on all four wheels. Is
this manual a knock-off or something?
I know from years of electronics work that nothing is more frustrating or
misleading than wrong service literature. I'd like to know where I could get
a genuine, printed, (and reasonably-priced) copy of the correct manual for
this car.

I was using the troubleshooting flowcharts in the Honda factory
manual, and it does not say anything about one injector having a
higher resistance than the other.
My Honda factory shop manual gives the same resistance values that Toyota
MDT quotes (different for both injectors).
Come to think of it I don't think
the Haynes manual mentions it either. But when I checked a parts list
from a distributor, the injectors indeed have two different part
numbers. Is this something the manuals neglected to mention?
The genuine Honda manual very clearly shows the differences. Your
aftermarket manual likely would not.
The main (upper) and aux injectors have very different shapes and
function;
they are NOT interchangeable. I don't think they will even fit into each
other's mounting holes.
