I would check the camshaft and crankshaft sensors 1st. they are responsible on sychronizing the injector/s and giving the computer the engine speed and pistons position so that the computer ( Main Brain ) tells the ignition control module to fire the coil to produce the seconday voltage surge to the plugs.
