It could be the injectors as well, I have no clue at this point. My injectors were clean and the filters changed. Maybe they messed up something when they did the injectors cleaning. I will have it diagnosed on the 28 of Nov by an good indy shop. Not sure if the dealer was a better option.
Let us know, I for one am curious how this could be happening and I just ran all the codes at the dealer 3 weeks ago and they didn't find anything. I hadn't thought of the exhaust hanging up in the cylinders, but wouldn't that activate a code?

I would think if only a few cylinders were running you'd kick on the Service Engine Soon lightand that would show a cylinder misfire code...random or specific. If you scan the data, you should see it as well, even if it wasn't enough to kick the SES light on, you should still see a stored code indicating a misfire at some point.
That's where I was going and you articulated it for me
