For one, you have to remove the upper plenum to get to the injectors. This makes testing them a pain and most people won't test them because of this. Plus you need TB and plenum gaskets.

Second, you need a fuel pressure gauge and a tool like the one shown here: http://www.actron.com/cgi-bin/web_st...9.htm&cart_id= With this tool you can do injector balance tests. Basically you can manually pulse any injector and record the pressure drop. All injectors should be within 5 Kpa of each other.

Also, injectors can show OK on the balance test but could still be shorted internally. For this you'd need a injector coil tester/voltage drop tester like the one shown here (pricey) :

Oh yeah, this isn't the greatest test but......you can use a regular Ohmmeter and check the resistance of each injector. A bad one might not show up on this test, but say you test them and 5 injectors have 7 ohms resistance and 1 has 1 ohm.....then you know that one injector is bad.
