bite the bullet...new injectors are needed. Old injectors will have the 
same problems just a few k miles down the road. CIS injectors are different 
than pulsed injectors on most cars, they were meant to be replaced more 
often...ie. they're $30-40 rather than $75-100 each. Cleaning can help, but 
you risk more damage than good. Also there's a little filter inside each 
injector that clogs up over time...not much you can do about that, esp. if 
it's loaded w/ varnish and such. Try http://www.thepartsconnection.com and 
http://www.pap-parts.com/

tell them you are a lister and you get some discount. You'll be amazed at 
the difference new injectors make, and you'll prolly find them for less 
than you expect. good luck.
