Problems after 3.0 rebuild (HELP PLEASE!)

OK the shop that did my runner did a compleat valve job, new water pump, timing belt, and also i new enjector on #4 cyl. After putting the whole thing back together, it ran very good (THIS IS WHAT THE SHOP SAID). After running for about 2 miles, he had told me that the rig stalled. when starting it back up, it had a miss and was now running on 5 cyl. He had told me that the problem is in #5 cyl. He also told me that the cyl. had good compression as well as good spark. He is now telling me that he thinks it is a bad injector on that cyl. Can you please give me some feedback on this matter of to what you all think is the problem. Also please keep in mind that this shop had my rig for 3 months and keeps finding other problems. This is why I'm going to pick up the rig and take it elsewhere to be looked at. But please give me your feedback. Thank You..............

sounds like it is an injector or fouled plug or plug wire. its prov gonna be an injector. you can check that it has ocmpression too make sure that its good. pull off the coil wire or anything that keeps that engine from starting. then crank it over and if it spins over consistantly then your good. if it seems to spin faster real quick then slower again. then you got no compression.

The HG are new as the heads were just done when the valves were done.

well you said the shop noted that the cylinder had good compression, as well as spark, so i dont see it being either a fouled plug or wire. Id go with the injector. If one on your engine was failed anyway, thers a high possibiltiy that another is has failed too.

OK if it is the injector, is this a big job for another shop to do?
