P0273 code. Need a little help.

So driving the 05 250 I noticed a slight miss at lower rpm. Then bogging when taking off from lights. Just trying to get back to the house and the P0273 code for injector circuit low cylinder 5 pops up on my programmer and the miss gets worse. l limp it the rest of the way home and start doing research.
so here's the question, injector or ficm? Everything I've read says it could be either one, but if it was the ficm wouldn't it be more than just that one code? checking it later this week when I get a chance, just curious. any info is appreciated.

yes the ficm usally has more codes but its easy to check

If its starting to eat injectors check your fuel pressure

are your fuel filters old

have you tried to take the programmer off and returning to stock

I had the same code....once..

The plug was loose on that injector I would check that out before doing anything...

But if its the FICM I believe you will get codes for all 8 injectors circut low

Usually if its the FICM it gets better or clears up when it is warm. If it only got worse and your wire harness is plugged in tight. then I would lean toward the injector itself.

I returned it to stock midway before I got back to the house. It was already at operating temp when it started, and it is only cylinder # 5. Leaning towards injector, but hopping its only the connector. We shall see tomorrow.
