should i clean the injectors? and if so how?
If the "X" tool you're referring to is the one I think it is, I agree with you 100% - I had one & couldn't even use it!!
What you need to use is a set like this one:
Better Type Fuel Disconnect Tool Set (I got mine at Pep Boys)
The injectors are prolly clean internally, I just used a "diaper" type rag, wet with carb cleaner, and carefully wiped the deposits off the tips of the injectors and generally cleaned up the outside of them before I put the new o-rings on and re-assembled the fuel rail. A can of fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank after you've finished the UIM/LIM clean-up sure wouldn't hurt either.
