Default how can you tell when your injectors are going bad??

I think its the injectors or something in the fuel system. When i give the car gas around 2000 rpms rollin in 2nd or whatever it fells like the motor is not getting gas and the rpms just statr to drop and if i give it even more gas it starts back up. when it gets warm its not so bad. so i dont know whats going on. so i thought it could be the injectors going bad. if anyone knows please help.......thanks

Well I would try starting small...start with a fuel filter...check the plugs and make sure they're not fouled. When you turn the key to the on position before starting it does it sound like the fuel pump is struggling to prime the vehicle? After changing the fuel filter and checking the plugs and possibly changing those...run some fuel system cleaner through it. It could be that you have some sludge/gunk that built up or came from the bottom of the tank. You stated it's not as bad when it's warm it could be that the gunk is more solid in colder weather and once it warms up it thins out. Like I said, just go small first and then we'd have to move to bigger things but try the others first.

I was gonna say if none of that worked it could be a sensor like TPS or something but if it's not throwing a code I would think that eliminates sensors. But I could be wrong. Now before you throw out the notion of a bad fuel pump...it is possible that the fuel pump could be clogged or on it's way out because it can get enough to get the car started and stay at idle but may not be able to deliver enough fuel to the motor while it's under load. Good luck though.

If you really want to know then send your injectors to RC-engineering and have the tested and flow balanced/cleaned.

100.00 bucks or a little more but you will get a before after result and then you will know for sure.
