P0204 - VE Injector Problems - How Common

[ZerOne]

Hi everyone,

On the way home tonight the car started spluttering.
When I got home, I checked the OBD reader on and the car spat out a P0204 Injector Circuit Open - Cylinder 4.

I had a quick play around with the injector plug, and got the thing running again for a period of 2 minutes, before the spluttering happened again

Its a bit late for me to do any further diagnostics tonight, (And I have to work a long shift tomorrow),
But I was just wondering how common is it for an actual injector to fail on these things ?

(When I get a chance on the weekend, I will try and test the injector plug with a multimeter to check that it is getting power from the injector relay,
and then try and measure line to the ECU with the engine running to see if the ECU is grounding the injector properly).

Anyone have any thoughts or experiences with Injectors on these things ?

(Cheers and thanks for any help or suggestions anyone can provide)

Never seen one fail. Only times ive seen that is if its unplugged, break in wire or bad plug (someone changed type). Most times its been from rats/mice in the engine bay having a chew, for some reason they just love injector wires
