plugs were 129$.
the rest was diagnostics and to find out where the problem was occuring, the swapped the injectors with others to see if that was the problem, and so on....basically the rest was tax and labour for what they "did"
As for the "face to face" part, the shop foreman came with me for a ride to see what exactly was happening and he was stumped himself.
ENGINE FAILSAFE PROG DOESNT appear anymore, now its just a flashing check engine light triggerd at 5100rpm, but you can hear the car misfire when its lightly being reved from the exhausts.

The engine failsafe prog is triggered by one of the sensors - cam position sensors, crank position sensors, oil pressure sensor, oxygen sensors, MAF sensor, etc. If all of these checked out, then it's possible the sensors themselves or the ECU could be failing. The DIS/MODIC printout didn't find a fault with any of the functions that the sensors monitor, but if one of the sensors are faulty, that may not appear on the printout.
