The garage I took it to said the 02 and egr were fine... but who knows if they actually tested them or just told me that cause there's no CEL on. I'm leaning towards injectors... I checked ignition and fuel pressure. So it has to be compression or fuel injector problem...

Well... I took a break on the engine problem to take car of the suspension. I'm running a tank of fuel mixed with techron. Got about a quarter tank left. Still no change though. Irritated.

check your crank sensor. does it start really hard too? like it seems to just chug when turning the key and it just runs like a dog the rest of the time?

Not always the case, mine never threw any code, replaced the cat and haven't had a problem since.
