dirty injectors

Is there any way to check to see if your injectors are dirty without pulling everything apart? Surely there is a simple test for this.

You could take a lazer temp gun and measure each cylinder at the exhaust manifold.

More a test for a stuck injector than a dirty one, but there might be slight differences?

More than likely they need to be removed and visually checked, then maybe pressure pop tested.
(wrong term, but CRS'd the real term)

I thought certain cylinders can normally run a bit hotter/cooler than other cylinders???

Dr. I was under the same impression. I thought that # 6 runs hotter than # 1, thats why most install their pyro towards the rear of the block on the manifold. I could be wrong.
