So the car started to run very roughly, it started to be hard to pull away. I had suspected for a while that an injector was failing, after putting lots of cleaning through it, it cleared up a bit. Carrying out a leak back test showed the injectors all fed back a different amount that was linear from injector 1 through to injector 4, with injector 1 feeding back 25% more than 2 and so on.
I took out inj1 and gave it a few min in a sonic of warm isoprop and there was a noticeable improvement - so figured it needed replacing.
I then thought that they have all done 100k and it was so rough I was going to replace all 4 with recon injectors. The very helpful chap on ebay I got the injectors from only had 3 and with he crap weather I only had chance to replace no1.
So now looking at the injector compensation I am not sure it is worth replaing the others - what do you guys think?

This was taken when warm and the initial step is at tick over then I varied the non load engine speed to about 1800rpm and then up to around 2500.
I have been reading around and people are saying that the tick over value is not very meaningful, but I don't see how it could not lead to rough running.
Thanks
