Re: fuel injectors
If your injectors were "aftermarket", and your car isn't tuned, it would be running like ***.
When was the last time you did a simple tune up? Cap/rotor/plugs, oil, seafoamed fuel system?

Re: fuel injectors
Might sound crazy but 2 things can help you out a lot! One is the fuel filter! Second any broken vaccum lines and or gaskets leaks , ect simple stuff usually works it self into the gas table or section of trouble shooting stuff !!

Re: fuel injectors
I just replaced spark plugs ... But if the fuel filter was dirty wouldn't that cause less gas to flow...i bought the car a few months ago but haven't done a full tune up but my cap and wires look pretty new

Re: fuel injectors
So the answer it, you haven't. Mainly because the plug wires & cap "look" new. Wow. I can wipe anything down in my engine bay and it "looks" new again. That's the FIRST thing you do when you buy a used car REGARDLESS!
Fuel filters get clogged. When they get dirty they become less efficient. To the point that they no longer do their jobs.
Your reasoning is pretty faulty.
