Yes the injectors with high miles like over 160 can have worn poppets valves and the armature plate clearance is then out of spec. The spec on new injector armature plate is .004 in and old injector is .002 in. Any thing less will cause this cold miss or no start unless plugged in but after it runs for a few minutes all is good. This armature plate clearance can be measured with feeler gauge but requires pulling valve covers off and then removing the solenoids off injector and is delicate work as you dont want to drop the small screws.
