fuel injectors..PLEASE READ

whats up guys? about 2 months ago i had to get my supercharger replaced bc every time i'd be in high rpms the car would buck and hesitate to pickup speed but i never had a CEL come on... well, last week my CEL started flashing so i knew i had a misfire.. but after a good 10sec the CEL went off but the car would still run like ****..
today i dropped it off at service and they said its bc when i had my CAI it messed up my MAF. but when i had the supercharger replaced i put the stock intake back and got a new mass air flow sensor from GM about a month ago thinking it would help the problem but never did...
so now the service guy is telling me i gotta pay 150 bucks to clean my injectors bc thats whats causing the problem...my SS/SC is an 06 with 20k. how could my injectors be bad or clogged already? i only run 93oct gas from either mobil or exxon so it cant be bc of bad gas... and if they were bad, why clean them instead of replacing them? and that should be covered under warranty right?
so i gotta pick up the car tomorrow after i get out of class but what should i do as far as the paying for the injectors to be cleaned? think i should talk to the service manager and see if i can get them replaced under warranty?
anywhooooo just another thing wrong with my poor coby...

by the way, has anyone ever had this problem of the car bucking and hesitating? thanks guys

ya i would talk to the service manager. i personally never had that problem. and second your CAI wouldnt have anything to do with your injectors getting clogged.

Your injectors are fine, your maf can't make your injectors dirty or anything. Try cleaning your maf sensor and seeing what happens. Dont let them BS you. There is also a TSB (bulletin) for leaking injectors on these cars, which would be covered under warranty.

no, bad gas or contaminated fuel is not covered under your warranty. If you put crap in the tank and it messed up the fuel system it will not be covered.

add in a bottle of the high quality fuel additive booster..i.e. royal purples "boost", or the 104 brand....people swear by those to solve injector problems...maybe the new mass air flow sensor was faulty?
