Poor throttle response and lack of low-end power(less than ussual) are the most common symptoms, and in worst cases, a high or wavering idle. The engine may also run hotter than ussual. It is most easily taken care of with a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in the fuel tank. Generally, modern unleaded fuel and air filters are highly efficient, and these symptoms are more likely to be a failed/failing fuel injector or simply an unserviceable air/fuel filter.
