You have to pull the fuel rail to remove them. Not the kind of fun you're looking for, so I'd suggest getting a mechanic'* stethescope, and listening to them at idle. You should hear them clicking.

This won't tell you if they're clogged. Removing them and cleaning them, then replacing all the seals would be a good idea if you have any question, but make sure they're firing first.

What are your symptoms?

allright.. here are the symptoms. I think it'* an ignition problem, but i figured i might as well check the fuel filter, and injectors. When i first start.. low rmps. I get a miss. Like a jerk. When i first get in the car it runs fine. I run it for about 5 mins the it starts to miss once i get past 0 boost. Bad miss. Not jerky.. but a very fast miss. Every once in a while as it'* missing the power will kick in a little then kick out. I just had one of the coils replaced, becuase it was bad. Replaced sparkplugs, and pulg wires about 6 months ago. Tranny fluid and filter changed at same time.

Ok, I went through something similar not too long ago. One problem can cause another.

I had a coil that would break down with heat. Giving me a miss. Because of the miss, I was fouling 2 plugs for that coil........but then I noticed 2 others. Made me realize I was killing 2 coils. I replaced all 3 and have had no further problems, but a contributing factor was a weak alternator, causing a low-current/voltage situation with my ICM.
