Then ask somebody else to do it.  You have to look at the injector.  There's 
a good procedure in Bentley.  You will pull them out in pairs.  You'll need 
a small ratchet handle, 10mm socket and a universal joint.  There are two 
nuts holding each injector pair.  I find it to be a tight squeeze to get at 
those nuts, but not any worse than removing spark plugs on a dual carb car.  
Get both pairs out, leaving the fuel loop intact.

Once you have them out you can pressurize the system with the key off/on 
routine and look for drips at the injector ends.  Bentley tells the 
allowable drip rate (I forget).  You may find at least one injector that 
pees.

You will want to test spray pattern next.  Disconnect the green condensor 
wire and have somebody crank the starter as if trying to start.  Hold each 
injector pair over a wide-mouth mason jar and watch the spray patterns.  You 
want to see nice conical shapes of misty gasoline.  Might be nice to have a 
third helper to hold the mason jar for the injector pair you're not looking 
at.

While you have them out, make sure the injectors are all the correct Bosch 
yellow ones.

Have you measured your fuel pressure yet?
