So i suspect that one or more of injectors might be clogged.
Throw me some ideas on how to clean theses suckers..
What is the voltage the things need to open up?

Can't be more than 12v but most likely it's 5v to open. The only cleaner I know is a tank cleaner you put in the gasoine, techron.

Usually you have the injectors overhauled to do a complete restoration.

Honestly, I think the "cam" feeling is something other that the injectors.

If you indeed have a clogged injector, your best bet is to send the injectors to a professional for an ultrasonic cleaning. Other wise, you can dissconnect the fuel rail, pour some off the shelf cleaner such as techron, seafoam, lucas, b-12, etc directly in the rails, reconnect and prime the fuel system. Let it sit for a few hours before running. Use the remainder of the cleaner in 1/4 tank of gas then run it hard (if you are able to safely) so that you see your highest injector duty cycles. The longer opening times will help the buildup dislodge.

Check to see if you have the injector connectors on the correct injector. The Kentucky site has the wiring for you. If you swapped an injector around, it'd be running really really bad!

I use this with a can of OTC Pro Inject R Kleen. Connected to the fuel rail and pressurized by my air compressor. I haven't used it on the GTO yet but it worked fine on previous injected cars I've owned.

All the injectors were fine. Air leak in the base plate of the Weiand Intake Manifold was the cause of the problem.

All fixed now.
