I've got one bottle of Prestone Fuel Injector Cleaner and two bottles of STP Fuel Injector Cleaner which I intend to use as I add additional tanks of gas.
 
It was the STP that I used last time, when the hitest gasoline that I added brought the gas guage up to almost full. Now its about half a tank on the guage and I just added the second STP container and went out to buy more on the theory that any sort of "miracle goop" is cheaper than a whole new engine!
 
I did find something that said Techron but it said Fuel System Cleaner and did not specifically say Fuel Injector so I decided to not get it quite yet since it might not be the right stuff.
 
Don't really know if its getting better or not; it ain't getting worse though and so far I ain't had to put in a new engine at a whopping 4500 dollars, so I sure thank each and everyone on this board and all who run it!

fouled or bad spark plug
bad spark plug wire
clogged injector
ignition coil bad

There are 3 coils...without having the book in front of me, I'm pretty sure that you can replace only the bad one...
 
Usually the problem isn't the coil...check other things 1st
