A clogged cat will really make for "no guts"... if you've had a plenum problem for any length of time, chances are the cat is toast.

And "cat cleaning" is only to remover contaminants... it won't fix a melted core... in fact "cleaning" not done right will cause a meltdown.
Similarly, a bad O2 will also lead to killing the cat.

I think injectors are fairly non-serviceable without some interesting tools.... but, not 100% on that. There are places you can send them out to, to be cleaned, and balanced. That was the route I was considering taking. (as I have a couple extra sets of injectors.....)

no personal experience but some people use a sonic jewelry cleaner to clean them. i don't know if it really works or not but it used to be a popular topic.

There are filters in the top of each injector that can be replaced I would do that at least.
