Ok. well Im not sure if I can shell out that amount of money for all new injectors. Is there a way to see which ones are going bad or are bad? Would EFI live tell me which ones? I do plan on gettng EFI live sometime soon to tune the Trans Am so it would be nice for that as well.

Got it.

Would the injectors be a cause of my crappy gas mileage I am getting? I bet I'm getting less then 10 a gal, with easy driving.

The injector or injectors are dumping fuel so it will cause lack of power and poor mileage.
