Hey all. Guess it's time for my next round of issues. I love this car but she is a chore to keep running. I noticed a shudder while driving at highway speed today followed by a blinky CEL. The codes show a misfire on cylinder 2 and a P006c code. My research has made me believe I have a stuck fuel injector. I smelled fuel as I was driving and my fuel useage seemed high. I had just filled up. Am I on the right track? Also are there any things to know about changing the injectors or any other things I should do while I have the top end apart? Thank you for any info and help. I'm hoping this will be a fairly straightforward fix.

Id check your plug and ignition coil in cylinder 2. Take a coil from a good cylinder and put it in cylinder 2 and see if the code follows the cylinder. Just an easy place to start and rule out before you move on to a bigger repair.

The car won't start so I'm not sure if that would set a new code by turning over. I wont rule it out though. thank you

When I had a stuck injector I had held it floored for a long race mile long. It started smoking a little and every time I shut it off it had a long crank before it initially fired up. It ran like shit too. But it would always crank think it was number 6 stuck open replaced and all was fine
