[DML] Fuel Injectors - Are they easy to test for spray pattern?

["sweetp01569" <paul.sweet@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Over the last year or so, I have replaced most of the fuel system 
components(pump, accumulator, filter, warm up regulator, etc.).  I 
had the hot start problem and fixed that as well.  I also believe 
that I have no vacuum problems.  However, the engine still seems to 
run a little rough, but inconsistently.  At time, it purrs like a 
kitten.  At other times, usually after it heats up for a while, the 
engine runs a little rough (erratic idle, seems like skipping 
cylinders, etc., but not extreme, just not smooth and even).  It 
also does not seem to be too responsive when I quickly accelerate, 
like it wants to bog down when I give it the gas.  I am suspecting, 
and perhaps I am wrong, that the injectors may not be atomizing 
properly, and I would like to check them. I plan on buying new 
rubber seals and clips, and trying the glass baby jar method of 
pulling them and checking the spray pattern.  Once I remove the air 
filer components, is access easy to the injectors to pull them and 
test them out?

Thanks,

Paul
