Replace fuel injectors?
My injectors have about 150 k on them. Do injectors wear out? I have an intermittent stumbling problem which I think is the injectors. Would it be sufficient to clean and test them or is it better to just buy new ones.
If new ones are the way to go does anyone have an opinion on the Accell from Corvette Central? Or should I just go to GM for OEM?
Input would be appreciated.

Yes! They do wear out. Especially, the older pentil style used from 85 til about 89. Somewhere in there, Boush changed to a disk type injector which is suppose to handel wear and dirt much better but they will still deteriate with milage and time. Several mail order places will clean and recalibrate them (such as TPiS in Chaska, MN).
I have a 1987. I opted to buy a new set and found a new set of Ford "Blue tops" on the internet for about $200.00 (USD). That's not much more than cleaning/recaling costs. At the same time, since I was in there, I also installed an Adjustable fuel pressure regulator for about $49.00 (USD)
As to the Accell I heard mixed reviews but have no personal experiance with them and don't like to pass along hearsay.
You might consider going to www.fuelairspark.com . I've heard good things about their injectors.
Good luck!
