remove a fuel line (one that is not working) from the injector, leaving it connected to the fuel distributor. run the lin into a plastic bottle. start the engine and observe how much fuel is sprayed into the bottle.
If not fuel is sprayed suspect the fuel distributor (it can be rebuilt, butit costs)
If plenty of fuel is sprayed, suspect a bad injector.

Repeat for the other non-working injectors.
