Rick,use a long screwdriver and place the working end on the injector with the car running.
now place your ear up to the handle.you should clearly hear the injector "snap" "snap" "snap" nice and distinct.try this on all of them.
at least if you don't hear one working at all,or find the one that sounds much quieter,you'll know which one to replace.that's a nice easy free injector test to find a real bad (or dead) one anyway.if no luck with that,oh well.it didn't cost ya anything.

Lol, did you check their performance section? Some folks are going just nuts with them big ol' cars... By the way whatever they're ding to their engines and transmissions can be done in your Lincoln too, that's the beauty of the '90 TownCar - newer more aerodynamic bodystyle with the proven and cheap to mod 302/AOD combo....
