Ron has it right.  Since 100LL is a pretty good solvent, it's unusual to need to clean injectors unless there is a physical blockage.  The most common source of injector clogging is from shop rag lint from cleaning them!  A Gami Lean Test will tell you whether or not there is a problem with the injectors.

You might want to do a "cruise power" LOP mag check before pulling injectors. It's more likely a plug(s) or plug harness problem than an injector. Also, a "GAMI spread" test should be done. Please refer to the GAMI website for instructions.
