How did you check the codes? If you did it with the scanner it should have showed up as which one it is. Is the engine missing? If it is, One way to test is turn on the engine and unplug each injetor untill you notice no difference in the engine. auozone should be chpeest.

If it's a sticky injector it's easy to find.When it starts to miss,touch each of the injectors. The one that is sticking will be hotter than the rest. Then as was said unplug it to see if idle stays the same or drops off.

You can also go to most parts stores they usualy do check engine lights free. Like autozone checkers I think pepboys charges like 5 but as said its easy to check your self.

When I had this problem with my '95, all I had to do was run an injector cleaner thru the pressure test port on the fuel rail, 214k miles on the original injectors
