I've got one that's been sitting for a couple of years. I stupidly played around with it and got it running. Ran pretty fair for a while,but got worse. Fuel filter is clogged. I replaced that and am now convinced that the injectors are clogged. How do I clean them other than the obvious pour-in-the-tank crap? Can you take them out and clean them? I see these kits where you disconnect the power to the fuel pump and run the car on some kind of concentrated solution that cleans the injectors while the car runs on this stuff, but they seem very expensive and not available at any of my local auto parts stores.
I can't see replacing all of them since I'm not sure if the car is worth spending much money on until I get it running.

Thanks for your help

I've had some luck with two different methods. 1 try tapping on the injector body with the engine running. 2 try jumping constant power and ground to the clogged injector with the engine running (forcing the injector wide open).

You can do the second method with the engine off if you jump the fuel pump relay and keep the pump running. What your after is the fuel pressure, so the engine doesn't need to be running (for the second method) but the pump does.
