Did you guys have any warnings, any noticeable  glitches prior to your car shutting down, and prior to being diagnosed?

My car never died while driving. It happened when decelerating at a red light, the car started shaking bad. But it accelerated fine. When I got home and turned it off and let it sit for a little. It wouldn't restart. As far as keywords go, I just told them that I'd prefer to have all 6 done because if 1 went, the others can't be too far behind. I have a good relationship with my dealer so they took care of it.

When the #6 injector went on (not mine anymore) car they did all 6 injectors and did all the spark plugs really cheap too. They also replaced all the fuel rails because they are only one time use I think

You may have to replace at least one. In my case, #6 was fouled by the fuel from the leaking injector

I just picked it up. it was #6. no new spark plug. i didn't drive it far enough to foul it I believe. less than a mile once the car acted up.

The usual suspect is the rear #3 injector by the firewall drivers side,bit surprised both of you had the same injector go bad,hopefully its a permanent fix.  Z
