running troubles

my car first had this problem about a month ago. i started it up after changing the rear caliper and it was idleing terribly and eventually stalled. i started the car again and it ran fine. soon after i had a tune up(fuel filter, air filter, plugs,to be on the safe side)done while my tires and wheels were put on and the car has been runnig strong since. i just got my suspension put on and took the car back for an allignment. when i picked it up the car is exibitng the same problems as before. it is idleing very rough, and the engine has no power, and the delivery of power is very choppy(the engine seems to be shaking). i did a search, do you guys think this sounds like a MAFS problem, or oxygen sensor problem? one thing i do know is that i can not take this car back to school like this.

yeah i disconnected each of the ignition modules. when i unplugged the firewall driver side plug there was no change in the idleing. i tested the spark plug and it fired so... either an injector or a stuck valve. how much did the injector cost you?

it's gonna cost me $400!! but that's for the injector and installation from the DEALER cause my dad won't let me do it. i'm not sure on how much just the injector costs, i read some posts and i think you could get a new one for like $125 but i'm not sure where at
