well a scan tool with the ability to shut off injectors would be a good start, turn em off one at a time and if you don't notice a difference when you turn one off that one is probably bad, but it's kinda a guessing game

Yeah balance rate tests work fairly well. I only had one failed injector and just opted to replace the one. It was way out and misfired. All the other ones were fine though, I'd only do all 8 if there were a few that were bad because of the cost involved unless all the remaining ones have a lot of miles on them too. Never know for sure when they'll go but I have a feeling harsh winters don't help.
