do i have a bad injector?

I was on my way home tonight and as i was leaving a stop sign I noticed that my engine was runnin a little odd. So after listening to it more closely I noticed that it is a small misfire, it only does it on the lower end, 1,000 to about 2,600 rpms. Also it is not a constant repetative miss it just kinda does it when it wants and only when im leaving from a stop or driving fairly slow, going down the highway at a constant engine speed seems to be normal with no miss and does not miss if i accelerate, only at lower speeds. Not sure what it could be cause i havent had an injector go on a VE, on my 89 it had a miss, then i cleaned the injector electrical connectors and solved my problem. I dont know when the injectors were replaced if they even where, but it has 194.xxx so it is probly due.

If anyone has any ideas let me know.

both
it hurts because it strips the coating of the coil in the injector
it helps because until the coil goes bad you've got less grime in the injector

my maxima as of today will not start, it cranks, but will not start. I can smell gas and just changed pvc valve the day before. could the cleaner caused the injectors to go bad? my max has 230k miles on it now i baught it with 215k miles.
