What Year? Disconnect a single injector and about the only thing that should happen is an increase in IAC counts to maintain targeted idle. Really isn't a valid test. If you want to check each cylinder, kill the spark. You do that by cutting some 1/4 inch vacuum hose into 1 inch pieces. Insert a piece between each plug wire and the distributor. Hit the vacuum hose with a grounded test light to kill the cylinder. Note rpm drop. Any cylinder that doesn't have the same drop is the problem. Check wire, plug compression, etc.

Just recive a call from the injector lab people.
they clean my injectors with ultrasonic proccess. after that they put on the test machine.
the good news is 4 injectors are ok. the bad news the other 4 the man say they are leaking and not holding preasure.
the injectors dont spray the fuel. it just look like. some body pee. strean.
I call every auto part store in this small country that sales GM parts and no body have injectors for me. my final option will be ebay. but that will cost me more money. dont mention shipping.
is there any way that leaking injectors can be temporary fix. into I get the money to buy new once.

If I had a fuel injector problem, I would contact Jon at Fuel Injection Connection (FIC). Check out his web site. He's a great resource.
However, if #5 and #7 cylinders are dead; I would supect a blown head gasket between the two adjacent cylinders. A compression test will reveal all.

Check with Jon at FIC and see if he can do anything for you.
Maybe he can get rbuilts to you at a reasonable price.
