Default Fuel injectors and kerosene

I had my injectors out, so I soaked them in kerosene thinking that I was cleaning them. Now it won't run below 3000 and runs really rough. Did I screw them up and need to have them rebuilt? Or should I be looking somewhere else for the cause?

If they were dirty on the outside, you washed them w/ a contaminated fluid. This could plug the baskets, and cause poor performance. Kerosene, persay, won't harm the internals.
Also, you may have the lower o'rings leaking, and have a vac leak.
As for being rebuilt... PM me, and I'll give you the details.
