Spool,
Dirt in the fuel system can certainly hang up in the injectors and hold them open, but most injectors have a filter screen in them to trap the dirt ? Me thinks you need to find a good tech to troubleshoot your system and see what is really wrong with it before you waste a lot of money throwing parts at it . If it is the injectors, there are companies that will clean them or exchange them. Linder is one www.lindertech.com

I sent my injectors to the guys at injector.com after I had an engine come apart. They were able to tell me which cylinders in which engine were the ones that detonated just by inspecting the injectors. For about $10 they will clean, test, re-O-ring them and send them back.....and tell you if an injector is your problem.
