Default Bad Fuel Injector... Replace, or have cleaned?

Ok,I am absolutely positive that I have a bad fuel injector. Keeps throwing a miss fire code for each cylinder I swap it to. So, the question is, should I send the whole set out to get cleaned? Or just replace the faulty injector with a new one, assuming that there may be something internally faulty(not just clogged) Its going to cost about the same either way I look at it. Ive run a few injector cleaners through the gas with no help...
Are there any hillbilly ways to try and clean it first? Ive seen a few videos on DIY cleaning, but I kinda laughed. Thanks for any input

Personally, I would buy a known good used one and swap it in. If you feel the need to go further, then you can send them out to be cleaned as well.

I do not know of any for sale, but I bet you can find one posting a WTB ad on here.

Mine might be available, but that won't be for another month or so which is of no use to you by then.

I sent mine to rc engineering. It was less than $100 and they got it back to me quickly and also gave me results of before and after the cleaning.
