P0276 dtc

So I just finished my oil cooler job about 2 weeks ago, everything was running great till this morning. Started with a srutter at idle, then noticed a stutter around 1500 or so rpms. Hooked up AE and got code P0276. I just got it so haven't played with it too much but did the power balance and the line is pretty steady till it hits 6 then has a steady downward descent to 8. Thought it would be more like a downward spike but I guess not, first time I've looked at it.
So would that mean definitely the injector, I was thinking connectors or wire chaffe since I just did all the work, but don't know if a loose connection would show up in a power balance test. Gonna mess with it when I get off work,just lookin for a few ideas before hand.

Thanks guys and sorry so long.

Check the plugs and wiring on the injector. It's a circuit code for #6.

thanks for the help , tried to rep ya but wouldnt let me.

So, I think I found the problem. Pulled the connector off of injector 6 and pin 1 is recessed pretty far back in the connector. Can I replace just the connector or do I need a new harness? If I can replace it, anybody know how?

I was able get the pin reseated into the connector and my problem is resolved. No more rough running and codes are gone. Glad I didnt just go buy an injector. I did find out from talking to several dealerships there is not a replacement connector, you have to buy the harness.
I know not that big of a deal but it bugs me when people dont post outcomes.
