injector question??

i'm kind of concerned on my injectors because i have 157,000 miles on my car and injectors are still the stock ones do you guys think i will feel a difference if i replace them, i have a bad throttle response when the last gear hits at about 45 mph in cruising speeds, i'm guessing that might be the problem what do you guys think?? give a hand here yeah?

I would not replace injectors without some sort of test that indicated one was bad. There are so many other things that could be your problem. Any ignition stuff, fuel pressure ( a fuel filter would be a good thing to replace if it has been neglected) . Perhaps if you could have it run with a scanner to see if something obvious shows up.

What does this mean? What gear are you in, automatic or manual? What RPM is this at? It kind of sounds like you're saying that in overdrive at 45mph, you have bad throttle response. I think we all do....
