Default 94 Camaro V6 3.4l misfiring engine

Hi,
My 94 Camaro V6 3.4l had/has issues with a misfiring engine. After it occurred the first time a mechanic installed new spark plugs and replaced the ignition wires (and the fuel filter). After that the engine was running perfect no misfiring and definitely more power than before.
So I was very happy, well until about 2 weeks later. While driving on the highway the engine went suddenly from perfect to misfiring really bad. Back to the shop. They found wires and plugs were still fine, but there was no output by cylinders #2, 3, and 4. But #1, 5, and 6 had good output. Compression was at 125 psi.
I had to decline the recommended replacement of all 6 fuel injectors since the cost estimate was about 2k, which is more than the car is worth - and they were not sure that such a replacement would fix the problem.
So I was wondering what's the best way to go about that?
Thanks, Chris

You can go to a junk yard and probably get a fuel rail w/ injectors off a car for $40 and replace it yourself. It isn't that hard to do.

Default fuel injector flow rate 17, 19, 21 or 24 lbs/hr?? V6 3.4L 1994

Hey, thanks for the hint. Another option would be to get new injectors online. Accel seems to be a good brand, but I couldn't figure out the right flow rate for a 94 V6 3.4L, is it 17, 19, 21 or 24 lbs/hr?
Thanks for you help,
Chris

Just wanted to share this, 4 websites agreed that the flow rate for a 1994 Camaro V6 3.4L is 17 lbs./hr.
