Easiest way is to remove yours and have them cleaned and flowed. be careful though, just saying the injectors are bad could be a mask for other problems. Always get a compression test1

Sure, most places would charge about 20 bucks a shot to clean and flow. I dont do it myself but i suppose you could try.

Be careful of people who claim the fuel injectors just need to be fixed...
Usually, that's just bullshit, and it's hiding a much more bigger problems.
It's very difficult to verify the fuel injectors are bad, and tearing apart the intake manifolds / TB / intake / vacuum hoses / wiring harness is a royal PITA.

I'd walk away from this car if I were you.

No, you are misreading the responses. I will summarize:

- There is probably something ELSE wrong with the car that is not easy to identify or fix. Do not trade for this car.
