The injector letter won't apply but Mossy's extended warranty might....he'll have to read it....

yes...take it in....see what the warranty will cover before they start to fix anything....
what do you mean by my extended warranty? I didn't buy it at a dealership. I just hit 75,000 miles yesterday

I don't believe in coincidence, BUT - given it's reporting on BOTH banks, AND Mossy has touched the MAF AND the TB ( you did take it off to clean it, right?), I'm inclined to agree with Eighty-Eight's alternate hypothesis - an air/vacuum leak, or some sort of damage inadvertently caused by the R&R activity.
Very few reports of injector problems of that MY, but some early 06's may have the 'bad' injectors from the late '05 production run.
Worth checking for sure just to rule this out.

oh so you don't have the extended warranty....you must have been refering to the injector warranty which is for the 2005 5.4 3v....
