We will check first though what you are suggesting just to make sure.

The thing to do then is try what i suggested, see if you can get them flowing and if tapping the main pump underneath gets it going and restores fuel pressure and if so, do they leak when the engine is switched off? If they leak then yes, you'll have to go for new injectors but if it's just a bit of dirt causing it, that should clear in time. Leaky injectors will cause hot start problems though so you may have to give it the hot start method when it is hot.
