You can check them with an automotive stethescope. Hold the point of it up to the injector with the engine running, it should make a rapid ticking sound if it's working right. You can get one at most auto parts stores, they are only around $10 for a cheap one, they are a very good tool to have. If you can actually hear the clicking sound normally I really doubt it's an injector, more likely a rocker out of adjustment or something else.

More than likely the clicking you hear is a plug wire firing to ground through the side of wire. This is giving you the miss.
