Is it worth it to get the fuel injectors cleaned? I have an engine that recently was started after sitting for a couple of years. The gas in the car is ,also, a couple of years old. When I started the engine it has a miss. I have not checked to see if it is the coil, yet.
If it is the fuel injector sticking, is it worth it to send all of them out to have them cleaned and flow tested? A business was recommended that would do them for $20 each.

$20 each, you've got to be kidding! 
One of this forum's members in Cumming, Ga will do a whole set for $89 including new o-rings, etc. Read this thread to find out more info. I talked to them a few months ago about cleaning the injectors in my F-150 truck, they were going to charge the same price.

Fuel Injector Connection did mine for $89. The service was off the charts. I called them on a Saturday afternoon with a couple installation questions and they picked up and answered my questions. The guy even gave me his cell phone number in case I had any more questions because he was leaving the shop for the day.
Since the injectors have been sitting for a couple years, I would probably get them cleaned. If you're on a budget and you wouldn't be too worried about running a cylinder or two a little lean, then you might be able to skimp out or do a self-cleaning with seafoam, etc. If you're doing any type of forced induction, definitely get them cleaned.

Fuel Injector Connection did mine as well. Great communication, turn-around time, and price. Highly recommended!

Thanks, for the links. I will send them out to get cleaned soon. The miss turned out to be the coil pack that was damaged in the wreck the motor came from.
