Get a can of Guaranteed to Pass and put it in you gas tank - it's made to help cars pass the emissions test, but it is one of the best injector cleaners I have seen. I put a can in an Altima with 150k, and later had to pull the injector bank off for some other maintenance, and the injectors were as clean as new!
