Hi there. As you already know, replacing components without diagnoses can be expensive and time consuming without resolution. Circuit testing for the P0201 (#1 cylinder injector circuit fault) code needs to be performed to isolate the injector circuit fault. This could be done using an DVOM (digital, volt , ohm, meter), checking for a voltage signal to the injector and a resistance value test from the injector to the ECM (engine control module). Resolving the P0201 code, more than likely, will resolve the P0301 (#1 cylinder misfire) code. I recommend having your vehicle’s check engine light be diagnosed and repaired by a certified technician, such as one from YourMechanic.
