Hi, I got a tune-up yesterday and had the spark plugs and igntion coils replaced. My car was running smoothly. I then took my car later on that day to Walmart and got an oil change and fuel injection cleaning. After the cleaning, I got into my car and the check engine light came on. I asked the guy and he said that it usually comes on after an fuel injection cleaning. I drove home. When I left later on that day, the light was flashing/blinking and my car was riding really rough. I took the car to Advanced Auto Parts and was told that all 6 cylinders were misfiring. So I went back to Walmart. The guy did another fuel injection cleaning the same day. My car is still shaking and it acts like it doesn' want to go when I press the gas. My question is, Could the 2 fuel injection cleanings could have caused this problem or burned out my spark plugs or coils?

Sounds like they (WalMart) created some kind of problem. If they used an injection cleaner and now it misfires on all cylinders, let the manager know that you will be presenting him with the repair bill, and that you will not be lettting his crew work on your car as they have already had a try at it and have shown inability to fix the problem. The check engine light should not come on after an injection service if it is done correctly. This is exactly why you shouldnt let WalMart work on your car.
