Idle & emissions problems
Its possible it could be a bad injector, but doing a compression test is needed. It'll take you less time to do a compression test, then swap out injectors which may also be bad. Go buy a compression tester, they are relatively inexpensive

or most auto part stores let you rent them for the cost of the tester, they just give you your money back when you return it
also, just cause you have injectors "laying around" doesn't mean they are good either, if the compression test come back good, I would get 4 stock injectors, get them cleaned, than install them.
Still, compression test first, because if your compression is low, or you have a rotor with a dead/nearly dead face, everything will have been for naught so far

Leaking jectors are a possibility, but requires you to completly remove the upper and mid intake to gain access. Is your air pump working? Are the 5th/6th ports working? The air pump is supposed to help stop backfiring IIRC
What should I do to see if the air pump is working. I can feel air being sucked into the air box when the car is running, if thats worth anything.

All your feeling is the motor naturally sucking air. There is 2 hoses running to your air pump, take one of them off and start your car and put your hand over the one you took off, you should either feel it sucking or blowing (heh). Mind you your car may run like @$$ with the hose unhooked so don't be alarmed

Got the injectors back from being cleaned. I put everything back together and the engine will strat but within 10 seconds the engine will lose RPM and stall out. Does anyone know whats going on?
Fixed this problem. The injector cleaning was little to no help. Still spits gas out of exhaust. Any chance that its the fuel pressure valve? Or maybe the cat is clogged or flooded?
To check the fuel pressure is there a part on the fuel rail i can hook up to or will i have to disconnect a fuel line?
