I really don't know if it does any good, but I've put a 9 volt battery to them so they open up and sprayed cleaner in.

Josh, you guys out in the boonies need to realize that Minneapolis is local, not BFE :) Manley is like 10 mins from me.
Local to you is like visiting canada for the weekend for me. Heh!
MPLS is only 20 minutes away or so...
You might be able to get a cleaner that attaches to the fuel rail. It wont be 30 dollars but you will have it for ever once you buy it.
It hooks up to the schrader valve on the rail.
Otherwise, carquest carries a cleaner that you dump in the tank. It is made by 3M and costs about $20. A few co-workers have used it and they claim it works great.
My assistant manager was a Jeep tech up til a year ago, I will ask him if he has any other pointers. What year jeep btw?

Does this place in the Twin Cities balance them too or just clean the injectors?

Correct me if I am wrong but I am not sure if you can really balance them. Most places that I have heard of test, clean, and measure them. They dont have a way of correcting them if there is a difference between them. That is usually done at the factory during the production.
Maybe I need to look further into how they actually function?
