4th and 2nd injectors are on the passenger side for a right hand drive car. 4th injector is the one closer to the intercooler and 2nd injector is the one closer to the radiator.

It will still fire fine, just sub-optimal. Years ago all injectors were batch fired all at the same time not in sequence and it worked then!

Well if the fault code stays the same there is possibly a fault with the wiring. If the fault moves to the other cylinder then I would imagine a fault with the injector.

Have you had a look at the engine bay to identify where the injector plugs are? Anything that needs to be removed will be self-evident.

yes i know the engine bay very well at the moment since been checking everything, i located the 4 injectors, had a quick look and saw the grey plastic tops with the cables coming from them i just havent tried pulling anything out yet. my mate is a mechanic and he's guna change the injectors for me this saturday ive got a standard replacement 2nd hand set coming this week also waiting on maf to arrive to as had code 23 and 17 i also changed the lambda sensor after diagnostic guy got no readings from it... bet it was just the injector all along.
