Probably an injector away it needs a back leak test done on it you measure the fuel out the top of the injectors done while the engine is running at idle, My guide is if the best result is twice the worse change the injector with the worst if the fuel in the wee bottles is about level drive the car till it faults (light on plays up or the bottles fill) if the back leak check shows nothing i would need to see it for myself. :)
