Also, the mechanic told that the plugs of the two cylinder should smell like gas and they don't and thats what brought him to the injectors but when I called this morning to get news, the injectors are fine!!!

When I first learned how an engine works, it was simply broken down.
You need air/fuel, compression, and spark.
Compression test was good, so this can get eliminated.
Spark plugs and coils were working, so this can also get eliminated.
Injectors are apparently ok, so this can get eliminated.
With the results you got from this mechanic... it should run.
Find a new mechanic... cause this guy sounds like an idiot.

Is it possible the plug wires for 6 and 7 have been switched, This would def cause a problem and you would have compression,spark and fuel and the plugs would be sparking so they would burn off the fuel just not on a compression cycle.,If after checking this the problem is still occurring I would look at the valve train for possible problems.
