do Injectors go bad ? Well, not sure what is going on. Do injectors go bad? What are the symptoms of a bad injector?
On a trip from SE Oklahoma to Austin last weekend, the car seemed to have a barely noticable sag, stutter, hesitation-ish kinda thing. It seemed to be most notable intermittently during steady highway cruising. It is so faint, its almost like the fuel was cut for just a millisecond or like a little demon was just tuggin back on the car for a moment. Like I said, it is very faint. I thought maybe it was about time to change the plugs anyway, so I put new ones in with high hopes and it seems the car still has the ever so slight hesitation at constant speeds, and occasionally during acceleration.
Thanks for any advice guys

It's posible for them to get gummed up. I would think seafoam and/or a new fuel filter if you have not done one of those in a while would be a good place to start.

windings in the injectors could get eaten up...that is definatly not your problem. Some fuel injector cleaner could help. What it sounds like to me is that you need a tune up. Plug wires, plugs, fuel filter. It could be any of those things or a combination of those things.
