Default Any ideas on getting a fuel injector unstuck?

2 of my fuel injectors were stuck open and leaking tons of gas into the cylinders. This caused the oil to be full of gas and i’m honestly surprised I haven’t noticed anything bad happen to the engine. I drained the oil and pulled the injectors now I just have to figure out how to keep them from getting stuck again. I’ve found many things on fixing clogged injectors but not stuck open ones. I don’t really want to have to buy new ones as I just bought these 4 hole ones.

Where in SoCal are you? I have an injector cleaning and flowing machine that you can use. Also, did you buy some cheap China injectors? If so, they are normally junk out of the box.... You really do get what you paid for.

Where did you get the injectors from if you don’t mind me asking?

Dang sorry guys it never showed me that this was replied to.... I ended up ordering some flow matched yada yada yada “703” injectors. This solved my issues. The original ones i ordered were from ebay and the seller was “uspartsmex”. I don’t recommend ordering from them because their customer service is also crap!
