why do my injectors continually clog themselves?? anyone else have this problem

For some unforeseen reason my fuel injectors in my 3.0 v6 keep cloging themselves. Fuel filter has been replaced 2 times in past 2 years(not recently though/ even still it doesn't matter) and I've pulled the injectors out of the rails cleaned them out. Its winter time now, I need my truck to run right. I've even done 2 seafoam treatments since summer once in may and once in early September and it cleared it up for a couple days but now its back to having no power again. I'm gonna replace the cap and rotor in the comming weeks when I get paid also (plugs and wires are new)to rule out spark (even thoug plugs probably need it again due to the constant missing. And when I say clogged I mean I had to pick out gunk with a smal pick just to find the screen in the injectors. Some one help? Could it be something in the tank? I recently replaced the filter for the fuel pump in the tank when I cleaned the injectors by hand in August. Thanks in advance If you want to move this to maintenance section mods feel free. I only put it here because it seems to be 1st Gen specific problem Ps after I clened the injectors by hand it cleared it up for about a month, and I run injector cleaner (Lucas) every month

Well I haven't been able to get to a newer tank yet, mainly due to the truck being stupid and not running when its damp or rainng out(which is why I bought it so I didn't have to drive the celica in winter) but its up and running aagain...kinda...may have to pull injectors again.....replaced cap and rotor and it didn't help and wires are newer( under year old) as it still won't run at full power, and falls on its face if its humid out or raining.
