given what you posted, i would replace the injectors, holders and orings. the injectors wear out, the seats get beaten to death. 100k is about the limit. if i'm using the old injectors, i break the holder like a walnut to get them off the injectors. pulling them out can be hard because the injector seal gets hard and has no give for the injector to squeeze. i have seen people put the assembly upside down in a vise and pound the injectors out, but i'm leery of the injector tip after that.

you might also get a new oil seperator and install that, too. unless the car has had exemplary service over it's life, the box is slighty clogged and cleaning it with any success is difficult. with the intake off, it's much easier. good luck, chuck.
