Zero-quantity calibration, injector, cylinder 2... bad injector or clogged?
surprised your mechanic doesnt know either lol.

you could always swap the injector to a different cylinder and reset the code and reread them and see if it follows the cylinder.

I couldn't tell you, I read my own codes and then try to diagnose it myself. If I am at a total loss I'll give in and take it to a mechanic. I at least try to get a good idea of what the problem might be before taking it to a mechanic if I have to that way I don't get ripped off. Nothing much you can do now since he's already pulled the parts off the car, just hope hes an honest guy lol.
