Bad Injector?

Is there a way you can tell an injector is going bad, without sending them in? Do they make alot of noise? Rough idle? I have a weird knock/tick that seems to be getting worse. I can hear it from ideal to 60-70 but goes away with wot. Let me know what you think.

When I had one going it ticked at idle but I cant remember if it did it at highway speed or not. Is it smoking white at idle or while driving?

Yes they will sometimes make a tick/knock/ping sound at that speed or even when you are under light load or full load. We do lots of common rail injs. I can try to help you out if possible. You can pm me your # if you need help and I will call.
