How do you know the rails are the source of your misfire?

If the injectors are getting clogged, it's not because there is rust on the outside of the rails(the source of that debris is coming from elsewhere). Just take them off, clean them out and paint if you want. And you don't need to spend 600 for the Airgap, unless of course that's your goal. Just get the Hughes plate for the kegger. $90

Why does everyone think the Hughes plate is the $600 FI Airgap manifold? maybe we should start referring the plate as the APS Precision plate instead of the Hughes.

Pardon me if I don't see the connection between redoing the ignition system leading to clogged injectors? Maybe its just me.
