Why do you want to test them, is their a problem?

You can do an injector test through the scan tool. I dont know if its necessary to replace or clean. I had over 500 on mine and I replaced them when I did the engine rebuilds. Never had a problem.
They cost about $60 each

I know I have tried to help you out before with your 496 up here. Maybe this can help whomever. In post # 2 of the link below click on that link and read post # 10 of that link. It is just a slight jist of what I do in the injector service. A set of 8 injectors unless they are extremely bad from contamination, I spend about 2 hours on them from start time to finish time. There is a lot more to it than most would know.

Impedence of the injector is very important, Injectors are electro & mechanical devices so they are not bullet proof, plus restrictions, and or contamination happens more times than you would think.

Yes a few problems. one engine seems to have unburned fuel that will collect and "Pop", cannot get full MPH or RPM. Without starting this whole saga all over here in another post, i just need to get the injectors cleaned/serviced and be certain they're operating to their potential/correctly.
