Been to dealer twice now. They replace plugs first time and wires, cap,
rotor second time. It is still missfireing and stalling. Only cyl 6 & 8
are missfiring. Any others had this or any ideas as to why just 6 & 8?
Thanks

What shape are the injectors in?

Don't know, that is what I told them to check when I dropped it off this
time. BTW mileage is 67K

The mileage is far from excessive.  I would look into possibly swapping out
the injectors from the misfiring cylinders with ones from normal firing ones
and see if the misfire follows the injectors.  If it does, then you know the
problem is.bad injectors.
