Also one more thing crumm.. the '95 models also have another filter on the fpr. there is a black cap at the bottom of it and if you unscrew it there is a screen there you need to clean as well. mine is probably filthy b/c i haven't cleaned it since i had the truck.
Were y'all using the q-tips to clean the screen with the cotton still on them? if so that may be your problem. i cut the cotton off the q tips and gently rub the screen til i see a nice shiny screen in my handy dandy mirror. last time i took off the fpr(a month and a half ago?) the screen had a little bit of stuff on there, but wasn't clogged at all.
Anytime you change injectors or injector o-rings you need to clean the FPR screen a day or 2 after the install b/c it gets nasty quick after an injector install.
