Just did the injectors over on the TZi but the same applies to the 16V.
Kits are available (includes enough gear to do 2 nozzles) which cost around $10.50 a set, so for about $21 and say an hours time, a full revamp of the injectors can be done. This includes filters to fit in the nozzles, "O" rings and end caps and makes one real big difference to the smoothness of the car, not to mention the economy.
I bought mine from the local "Auto-pro" store. Brand and part number can be read from the packet.
On the 16V a 9th "O" ring is needed on the fuel rail.
Here are pics I took of the injectors as they look before durung and after the kits are fitted.
I also show the holes they fit into which can get (as you can see) blocked with carbon build up and need clearing.
I also show why the coil can cause so many misses and misfires often at steady cruising. This is caused due to the tracking of the + side of things to the - side of things due to them being housed in the same socket. A thorough cleaning out with initially WD40 or similar, washed off with petrol and blown off with compressed air is often needed to fully clear the surface of conductive materials.
PM me if you require any finer details,
