New plugs are probably in order but not in our frigid temps.

P.S. I have an occassional code#37 oxygen sensor but I'm sure the problem is not related.
Use a large screwdriver to gently pry up on the plastic connector part of the injector as you turn it slightly. It will pop out eventually with a little persuasion. Since you plan to replace the injector and wouldn't mind a little damage to the plastic part you could instead use a channel lock and just grasp the plastic part of the injector and pull up as you turn it.
Hopefully it is just the injector and not the coil pack but more often the coil pack fails instead of the injector.
