As BoB says.........................
number 4 , has a built in timing sensor. Could be the injector (the sensor on the injector which is a coil) at fault, the wires/connectors going to the ECU or the ECU itself.
In case you need it, the part number for this #4 injector is ERR3337 and the price for the new part is between 150 and 350 quid so make sure it's faulty before buying a new one.
