whatever you do, do NOT try to physically clean those injectors - use
liquid injector cleaner with the fuel and that will solve your problem.
you may need two tanks, but it will work. use a quality cleaner, not
cheapo stuff.
in the future, don't buy discount gasoline. not only will you not have
injectors gum up like this, you'll get better mileage because an engine
with cleaner internals is more efficient.
