Message The early style injectors are more prone to failure. PERIOD. If you don't periodically run injector cleaner through there, you're just shortening the life of your injectors, especially if you use a fuel with wax additives (read: exxon). Your problem is either coincidence, or you had such severe blockage that when you ran the cleaner through you dislodged something and it's stuck at the pintle.
