Hi im hoping someone will be able to help my son has a 2001 1.4 petrol P206 and it has started missing and throws up the following codes on my cheapy reader
p0200 injector circuit malfunction
p0300 random misfire
Now i have been reading like a good boy and decided to remove injector 4 (nearest timing belt) and im not getting a continuity across it but i am on the other 3 !
Am i right in thinking that its dead !
I dont want to go waisting £57 +vat until im sure (and im tight  )
thanks for reading
Neil

Ah was going to say ive got some spares but mine are cream with a silver band. A word of advise dont go for a cheap injector only go for a decent brand bosch valeo magneti marrelli etc.

Dont know if thats the same as yours but its a damn good price for a brand new valeo injector.

Why don't you just swap over another injector just to be 100%
And do the same test, never know it might be an electrical fault.

there's no need to though no continuity indicates a break in the circuit, so its f****d.

That's my take on it too I started at the injectors and was going to work back
I've just noticed that the little whole on the side seems to have copper grease inside but the others don't hmmmm the plot thickens !

Put the injector back in and start the car. If no 4 exhaust manifold doesn't get hot there is the misfire. Let the car cool down and swap the injector with No3. If No3 manifold is now not getting hot then you have proven it is the injector. Just don't burn your hands. Another option is to measure the exhaust manifold temperature with one of these:-

They really are great tools to add to your collection especially now they are so cheap. For finding misfires by sensing different manifold temperature they are great. Such a simple method. Every mechanic should now have one.
To be honest though I already think you have done enough to prove the fault. Supporting others DO NOT buy cheap injectors.
