If that shop said it was the fuel injectors,it may be, but you can check by doing a fuel leak down test. Get a fuel pressure gauge and hook it up to the Schrader Valve on the intake, cycle the key on off until the pressure is built up, should be 56 to 63 lbs. and watch the gauge to see if it drops over 5 lbs. in 3 minutes. If it does, the fuel injectors, spider lines, and regulator would need to be replaced as a hole unit.

This is interesting on the p1345 code.... - Crankshaft Position-Camshaft Position Correlation... Possible causes... - Engine mechanical condition-Valve timing off - Cam sensor or crank sensor are loose on their mounting - Faulty camshaft position sensor - Faulty crankshaft position sensor... Some Tech notes... If this DTC started after recent internal engine repairs, inspect for proper engine mechanical timing. With the camshaft cover removed and the #1 cylinder at top dead center, make sure that the darkened chain links are lined up with the alignment marks on the exhaust and intake cam sprockets... If a P0016 or P1345 is resetting without any engine performance concerns but the above information did not isolate a cause for the DTC, replace the Cam Phaser Actuator sprocket.
