It goes beyond pattern and flow, electrical draw and how the units react at different pulse widths and pressure also come into play.
The Dealer may or may not be up selling. The Engine is a 92 so its 21 years old and the injectors were not designed for ethanol, they are probably an old pintel style injector also.
Engines that see the kind of service yours has with longer periods of non use can develop corrosion on the pintel and junk in the injectors basket filter.
No amount of through the rail cleaner or stuff in the tank will help with these issues. The only sure solution is to remove them, tank them and flow bench them.
With other methods you have no way of knowing how much the unit flows and how the spray pattern is, you rely on seat of the pants.
