leaky injectors....

my injectors that are only a couple years old at the most are leaking and not opening at the same time.
i have flushed my injectors.
i pulled the poppet out wit a small wire very carefully, clamped a hose on the injector and back flushed it to get rid of anything in there, and they still leak just as bad.
i was very careful when putting the wire around the injector poppet to pull it out a little to flush them.
any ideas worth cleaning again or need new injectors

Probably the seals are pretty much dead after 35+ years of service. It's not cheap but replacing them with new ones is the only option left if a thorough and careful cleaning didn't help.
