Yes - that is a reasonable statement. But perhaps remind the shop about Keith's earlier comment:

I would look it up the Helms and diagnose the problem. Probably a sensor...

Car is fixed guys!!!!!!! I changed the injector myself. Only took like 15 minutes. Still had the same problem so I put new ignition coils on cylinder #2 and it worked!!!! I'm so glad it's finally done. I also ordered the js racing o2 cel fix :-) since I don't have a cat.
