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?
if you're sure you are getting spark on that cylinder, and if you aren't leaking past the o-ring, check the ohm resistance of the injector... if it's less than 10, or higher than 14, you probably just gotta replace that one. that aftermarket one only showed up for 89... all the 89-92 VG injectors are the same, but only the $115 one was listed for the 90. I'll let brian tell you what the deal is with that particular $66 one. excluding that, the order of preference is:
new OEM ($115 or whatever) -> OEM pulled from a running parts car -> JY oem injector -> reman
