What to check next

Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.

If adding a follow-up, state whether the improvement continued and include any diagnostic findings already documented by the shop.

It is not very comon that all 6 injectors go bad at the same time! I would have someone put it on a computer and that should tell you exactly what it is. Maybe 1 or 2 injectors but not 6. The ones that are not bad should be cleaned. Fuel injector cleaner will not fix injectors.

Discussion summary

1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue Fuel injectors

The owner of a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue reported engine shaking and a blinking check-engine light after restarting following a long drive. Spark plugs and wires had been changed, and a mechanic recommended replacing all six fuel injectors. The owner later reported that injector cleaning resolved the problem.

Reported outcome: The owner reported that cleaning the injectors fixed the problem and that the car ran like new.

This is an owner-reported result. No diagnostic codes or shop findings were supplied to explain the original replacement recommendation. The thread does not establish that injector cleaning would resolve similar symptoms on another vehicle.
