Does the injector need to be coded?.

A lot depend on what equipment you have a pro level scantool on most German diesels live data will give you an intake air grams/stroke reading for each cylinder that can help spot a valve or blocked intake port issue.
The main suspect though is going to be a compression issue, diesels need at least 300ps/22bar for a cylinder to fire without a misfire.
Basic checks on power to the injector but beyond that you would need a scope.
It is of course possible you have a bad replacrment injector. Only way to tell would be swap it to another cylinder
