Isn't it possible for an injector to fail mechanically, and have a normal resistance reading, even though it isn't working?

Started searching for injectors and came across shops that do injector cleaning. They claim most of the "bad" injectors are just clogged and not really bad. They offer to clean the injectors and do flow test. They say 0ver 97% of the injectors they service are fixed this way. It's very economical at about $15 a piece. Is this one of those too good to be true deal here?

IC.
Also when looking at injectors from the web, even for the same year, and same model (94 GXE), they have injectors with different color dots on, yellow, black and so on. Any one know what that is about? So I need to look into my OEM and find out what color dots they ahve?

Went in and checked out the site. Even there they have two different injectors for the same year(94) and same engine(VG-SOHC), of course come with different color markings.
Guess I need to dig deeper to figure this one out.

I'm pretty sure they(the injectors) are all the same in aftermarket replacements,but wait for him(internetautomar) to confirm this first..

I've heard that as long as you go with the same color on all injectors you're fine, whether they be blue, black, yellow, etc. The main thing is if they are for VG motors... at least that's what was told to me, and I chose the blue pill. My Injector's cost me about $1100 for all 6 (OEM injectors and incl's labor and crap; i'm not confident enuff to replace the injectors on my own)

1. if the injectors don't red between 11-14 ohms they are dead for life.
2. 89-92 VG injectors were superseceded to 1 part number, 93-4 have not been as of yet. If you are replacing all 6 as long they all match you will be fine.
3. Don't even think about cleaning or rebuilding them unless they ohm out fine.
