vtr misfire and management light

[chrisni1986]

bought another vtr there 2nite and its misfiring and throwing the management light on sometimes when doing so.. dad has a fault code reader he bought and it came back with 2 fault codes


P1201 Injector circuit open/shorted - cylinder #1
P1203 Injector circuit open/shorted - cylinder #3

i found the definations online as dads code reader only told me the (p1021 & p1203 parts)

can anyone elaborate as to what the problem may be?

I could be a few things that would cause these codes.

Coilpack
Sparkplugs
Faulty injectors
etc.

ok fellow sax-p buds a little more help needed.... bought a coilpack off a guy i know thats deffo working 100%... there was a green air filter on the car which was fitted by previous owner which has been taken off and the standard filter etc put bk on as there was alot of pipes disconnected that i thought might have been part of the problem..

car drives now and doesnt light the management light.. however under hard acceleration. (4000rpm+) the car cuts out and the management light comes on.. the car then wont start for a few mins but eventully does when left a while.. any ideas as to what the problem could be??

problem sorted today... turned out it was the fuel pump causing the problem!

wow some one with the same problem as me mine is a 2000 vtr an there the codes i got but when i idle at lights the car revs its self thanks for the list of things to check ill have a look at them an touch wood it will work cos the garge that give me them codes said it has to go to citreon to be programed because it was what controls injecters 1 an 3.
