Paul,    I had problems like that at one point and traced it down to shorts (to ground)  in the harness that has all the probes in it.
I ended up disassembling the whole harness and replacing a lot of the connectors.   ...and then being super careful that everything was well isolated.

>> Ron has it right.  Since 100LL is a pretty good solvent, it's unusual to need to clean injectors unless there is a physical blockage.  The most common source of injector clogging is from shop rag lint from cleaning them!  A Gami Lean Test will tell you whether or not there is a problem with the injectors.
