A good place to have fuel injectors cleaned&tested?

Found out why the bronco started running like crap again.
4 injectors are clogged and the other 4 are pretty much clogged.

I took them out and put 80psi at both ends and maybe .5psi came out on the 4 and nothing on the others.

I was going to give them a good cleaning inside and out but from what I'm hearing it won't do anygood unless I get them flow tested.

A buddy told me about a Place called wallys, but they want $20 for each injector, So it will cost $140 + $20 for the rebuild kit. Seems rather high for putting them in a parts cleaner,testing them then putting orings and the filters on...or is it just me being cheap?

I had my 60#/hr injectors in my Camaro cleaned at Wallys, they worked awesome afterwards.

Probably not the best idea or the most meaningful test.

They always have good deals for injectors on Ebay. That is where I picked mine up. Looking at Ford Mustang/Thunderbird a seller called performanceefi had a rebuilt set for 100 with 5 shipping and they have a lifetime warranty. Also there were new injectors , I think Bosch, for 10 each.

Ya it will work, what you should do is spray them with carb cleaner, let sit in a ultrasonic-cleaner, blow them out and test.

It would be way cheaper to do them my self..but taking them someplace they get flow tested and it's important they are all flowing the same.
if not it could run rich or lean despite what the o2 sensors say.
Question is..is that extra insurance worth about $100 bucks?

I think you answered that question before you asked it.

Well I dropped off my injectors at wallys cus I like helping small local shops and saves me time and money on shipping.
Well he just called me and said there done and ready to rock. Im going to the dr's to get tested for some stuff but after that I'll go pick up a tank from eb101 and clean my filter. So I hope all this will fix my problems.

well i got the tank from steve and cleaned it this morning and put my injectors in wile it was drying out.
i looked at my intake and one of the hose's had a gash in it and one of the ports on the intake was bent (hit my booster bracket) and another hose was very hard and full of cracks and another hose that had a hole in it from a bolt on the fire wall. and a gasket covering my EGR hole was split in half some how? fixed all that and used hose clamps on all the ends.

installed the tank and checked for leaks and bled the fuel rail and put the intake on and what not. it fired right up and it's running WAY WAY better then it did in the past.

now..my old tank had 4 gallons of gas in it and it's not that old but i cant deside if i should use it in the bronco or my truck or if it's any good. it's a little darker then fresh gas but dose not smell bad.
