The '00 injectors seem to be getting clogged, so I got another set from the junkyard & installed them into these 2 fuel rails to soak for a few days. It took a little time to fill the rails since the ports are very small and the air has to bleed out while the cleaner is going in. I might also connect the bottom rail to a fuel pump & trigger each relay to backflush them.

After letting these soak for a few days, I discovered 2 IMPORTANT FACTS:
1) my car uses the newer-style injectors, so I just wasted a LOT of time & effort
2) concentrated B-12 penetrates the injector O-rings, causing them to swell & tear as the injectors are removed from the rails.
