So I hoped it would never happen to me, but I think an injector got stuck open. So last friday I was heading to the gas station and gunned it at a light. The car suddenly started running rough. I figured it was just running out of gas. I filled up and started her up and was doing the same thing. Well I took it home and been cleaning corroded connectors and plugs hoping to fix it. No improvement. Today I started her up and revved it up a bit then pulled the spark plugs. Cylinder 3 it wet with fuel. Unplug the injector and repeat, still wet.

My question is: Is there anyway to un-stick the injector or do I replace it?
I know not to buy remanufactured injector(heard the horror stories), but what brand should I get? I know internet auto supply has Oem($115) and aftermarket($66). Does it matter that much?
