    First thing,I am not a pro! Have been down this road though.Did you unplug and reattach each injector plug? Check all wires related for bad ground?clean air intake system good?Clean throttle body good? So you can start the engine and take a long screwdriver and put tip against injector body. Press ear against screwdriver and listen for clicking sound. If they all don't sound the same could be faulty injector. Before replacing you have to check electrical connectors.There is a light think it is called "noid" that you plug into each injector plug.If it blinks then it has proper voltage. Can also use an ohmmeter to measure resistance with engine off.

    You use the screw driver as a stethoscope. Get a long screw driver and put the blade end on top of the injector with your ear on the handle end. You should be able to hear a series of clicking as the injectors open and close to shoot fuel into the cylinders.
