you will need an injector flow bench machine. most fuel shops can do this for ~$15 an injector is the going rate I think.

flow machine or similar... ASNU, etc. if you want to know if they wil pulse or not grab a 12v battery, some alligator clips w/wires and hook up a 10psi~20psi regulated air supply to the rail and touch each injector with the wires, it should hiss.

Huh....never heard of a "fuel shop". I guess I must have one in Ft. Lauderdale....?

automotive shops that have the ASNU machine can do the trick. they aren't fuel shops usually, sorry for the bad wording, they are automotive shops. you may have to call around or there are several sponsors on here that you can ship yours to and they will test for $15 an injector I think...maybe 20 per injector. Fuel injector connection for instance.
