I am having problems with my STS. It won't start. Following the CEL codes, I have installed new plugs, a new Camshaft position sensor on bank 2, a new fuel injector for cylinder 6 and all of this to no avail. I need help or insight on what else it could be.

Is the engine getting proper fuel pump pressure? Have you checked for spark to the plugs? If the fuel pump pressure is correct, have you checked to see if the injectors are getting power?

Going to check fuel pump pressure and compression tomorrow. I also replaced the coil pack on #6 cylinder. It won't start. It just turns over when the start button is pressed. I was dreading gasket problems but it wasn't/hasn't shown signs of overheating or leakage. When I left work yesterday, it was idling rough and sounding like it had an exhaust leak. It went about three blocks and died out. About an hour later it started with the loud sound but a little less noise but still idling roughly. I had it towed home and now it start at all.
