well car started to run like crap (low idle, loss of power). Traced it to what I believe to be a plugged injector: has power to it, had spark, remove it and place in a jar (w/harness connected but coil wire removed). Turn over engine 20-30 times, no fuel at all - not even a leak - from the injector.

I remove injector, put air blow gun to hose, 50 PSI, fuel hose baloons but not a hint of air from nozzel tip.

Is this the correct way to test? These injectors have less than 200 miles on them (bought new 8/2004 from EBS but car did not run until last month). Fuel pump, fuel filter, preasure regulator etc. are less than 200 miles new.

At current injector prices I'm going to the cheap but lousy route of carbs I do believe....I already have $2K on new FI parts and for the $650.00+ for a another new set of injectors just ain't gonna happen.
