ONLY use injector cleaner, because other things like paint thinner will be too harsh on the non-metal parts.

Try some TECHRON. 2 bottles in a full tank.

If its fine when cold, can you drive it, and it runs OK, then it gets worse after warmed up??

That would not be injectors plugged. That sounds more primary electrical system. Not secondary (plugs and wires, cap, rotor)

How do you know its #1. Does it get a steady spark?

You may need to Do a compression test to see where the engine is mechanically.

I have seen many cars with one or more injectors plugged. Especially if the car has sat for a long period, months. But a plugged injector is a problem that is present all the time, not just when warm.
