P0301 is a misfire code for cylinder #1. Why are you messing with the injectors?

You can’t see if an injector is dirty, the dirt, if any, is internal.

Have you checked the coil? Have you swapped the coil with another to see if it is bad? Have you installed a new spark plug in #1 to see if that clears it up? All things to do before messing with injectors.

And the greater question… why are you messing with a 2 year old car with a 3 year 36K mile warranty and not the dealer?

OK, since, as I posted earlier, you can’t see a dirty injector, just replace #1. I assume you’ve figured out how to get the stuck injector out by now. If not, just pull hard and it will pop out. You might spray a little WD 40 into the recess where the injector’s O-ring is to help free it.

If that doesn’t solve it, you need to go “old school” and run a dry and wet compression test on all 4 cylinders.
