I had a similar thing a while back, when only one bank of injectors was firing.

It turned out to be a poor connection in the ECU plug/socket. As the passenger footwell can get a bit damp not surprising.

Pin 11 feeds one bank of four and Pin 13 the other.

You can check if the injectors are pulsing by inserting a Noid device in between the injector and its connector, but you do need the correct connector on the Noid for this to work. Sealey used to market Noids.
