88 -318 TBI rough idle

88 Dodge D-150 - Has anyone had any experience with injectors that don't appear to spray at idle? These look more like they are dripping and I'm curious if they're shot or just need a good cleaning.

Throw a can of Seafoam in the tank and see if that clears it up.

If Seafoam didn't clean them it is probably time to replace them. The local injector shop here can't clean them for the price to replace them.

Thanks, I pulled the old injectors last night and they looked to be beyond cleaning. I bought new ones for 75$ each and the old 318 came back to life. It was well worth the $150 for new injectors.
