What are the signs of bad Fuel injectors?

My van won't start in the morning or evenings when it's colder, I have a 94 Chevy astro van and I've been told by one mechanic that I need to replace my fuel injectors, so i took it to a different mechanic he said i needed a new fuel filter so they changed it and the van still wouldn't start, they did a Diagnostic test on it ant told me that there was nothing wrong with my van.

So my queston is are there any signs that the fuel injectors are bad?

At first view seems o.k. Try this go to any pep's boys or autozone and buy 2 injector cleaners, put them on your gas tank (when you have 1/2 of it) two days tops Ypou would notice some improvement; if not, probably need to be replace.

Good luck

worse case schenerio is a crank/no start, exactly what you've got. 94, that's throttle body, right? it's got 2 injectors on top of the throttle body. chances are slim that both injectors went bad at the same time. could either be a wiring issue, bad injector fuse, or faulty fuel pump. anything like that can cause a no start
