if it were my car, i'd go straight for the "remove for cleaning" phase
ultrasonic cleaning plus solvents should do the trick. and if not
there are aftermarket performance injectors that work well and aren'
outrageously expensive

for the future, i'd be a lot more generous with injector cleaner.
know gas is supposed to have a degree of detergency from the pump, bu
auto manufacturers are having consistent reliability problems becaus
the detergency level rules were relaxed a few years ago and vehicles ar
now gumming up all the time. one could go into the whole paranoia abou
oilco's and the benefits of both saving ingredient costs and gummed u
injection systems causing reduced gas mileage, but that would be way of
base..
say TeggeR out of curiousity what make of car are you having your trouble with
