Thanks to all for the injector cleaning help

[dswalterwi at earthlink.net (Don Walter)]

Someone else had a suggestion on locating vacum leaks, I think it was propane?  But they never said how they used it.  Maybe they'll chime in.

I don't know if you have checked for vacuum leaks yet, it seems as if
you have done just about everything else so you might want to try one
more thing.  It also doesn't' sound like a vacuum leak however; you
never know.
When I look for vacuum leaks, I spray the area around the TB, boot and
hoses with a small amount of starting fluid.  If the idle goes up, you
have a leak.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their responces.  I ened up just
soaking
them in injector cleaner for about 4 hours, shaking them up every hour.
The
color of the cleaner when done could only be described as YUCK.  Slapped
on
some new O-rings and shoved them in the car.  It didn't solve the miss
issue
that I have, but the car does have more power.  I'm starting to wonder
now
if the dizzy has a problem since I've now replaced, plugs, wires, cap,
rotor, coil and injectors.  Kinda running out of options so I think I'm
down
to the ECU, ICM and the dizzy.  ICM should be fine as I'm not getting
any
starting problems, hit the key, fires up, just won't stay running
without
keeping your foot on the gas for a few min.

So, the mystery continues, I'll figure it out eventually.  But anyway,
thanks again to all that responded.
