They will keep running even in really poor shape. the design of these things is amazing for as complicated as they are.

I have a mind to ask Jim to flow test and take pics of the pattern of my current injectors just to see how bad 270k mikes looks.

I wonder if he'd do it...

That is after I get the replacements.

In my truck I have a slight lope at idle sometimes but it runs just fine.

And there I go again hijacking a tread and bring it off topic... sorry to the OP

EDT: I don't think I have opened the hood since January... I should probably check the oil and coolant at some point....
