I'm a huge fan of Rev-X. Get some could really prolong the life of your injectors along with frequent oil changes.

Ran some Rev-X last year in it. Wasn't impressed with the results myself. Ran it for 2 oil changes. Went right back to idling like crap when cold whne i didn't use it. YMMV.

Yeah, you're supposed to keep running it. It's not going to cure the problem but it will band-aide it until your injectors are roasted. I'd say keep running it until your injectors bail-out and then replace them. Luckily they're pretty cheep to replace, especially if you do it yourself.

P.S. I see you're in the Duke city. I grew up and lived there until I was 25ish. How many times have you had cars broken into/stolen? For me it was 7 break-ins and one car jacking at gun point. Fun city, keeps you on your toes. Can't wait to not go back.
