Much to my dismay, this cleaning has not improved the starting issues I was having. The mechnic suggested replacing the injectors next. Before going this route, should I test the OVP relay (even though the ABS light is not on ) or the coolant temperature sensor?
Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.

the best info i can give you at this time is to get another tech. if you have a leak down of pressure then this should be zeroed in on. next cleaning the injectors takes time. full tank and then some cleaner. another tank and then some cleaner. bg being what i use. also the basic setting of the flap of the air flow sensor must be checked. does your engine have some vac leaks? how is the pressure/flow of the fuel pump? if a slight application of the gas pedal while starting works then thats as far as you need to go. as you can see there is a lot than can cause this problem. lastly, whats the mileage? maybe as you drive it more it will get better. i only recommend chevron super gasoline. seems to cure a lot
of issues after a few tanks. but mostly its time to get a second opinion.
