thanks for the answers guys! very helpful!

when he swapped the non working injector to another cylinder it didnt work. on the other hand, the working injector did work when swapped in another cylinder.

this points that some of the injectors have completely failed but this is so strange as they were working before, even if at an average of 90%.

how can one break an injector while cleaning and calibrating?

the next step would be to get some used injectors and see if replacing makes the engine run right. my mechanic is in the process of getting some parts to try it out.

any other ways to try and diagnose this? would hooking up the computer to the car tell us anything?
is there any trick to putting the injectors back in that my mechanic might have missed?
