Default Need help with engine code

Hello everyone! Parked 02Z yesterday and all was fine. Was going to gym this morning and when I started car it sounded like half the spark plugs where unplugged. Had a friend come over with a code reader and it was P0200 injector circuit malfunction. It seems that nothing is firing on the drivers side cylinder bank. He actually unplugged injector harness for that side and it made no difference in engine sound. He seems to think the pcm failed. While we where messing with it the dic read out "low engine oil" for the first time ever. We checked oil level and it was fine. Anyone ever have something similiar happen to them before? Any comments appreciated!

First time mine gave me that code, it was the #7 fuel injector. It kept happening.............same code.......same syptoms......for three years. I finally got fed up and changed all 8 injectors with Bosch rebuilds. The car's been running perfect ever since.

Well feel pretty dumb here. There are 2 "injector" fuses in the fuse box. One for the right bank and one for the left. One of those 15 amp fuses where blown. Don't know why I didn't check that first especially after all 4 header tubes on that side where barely warm after car had ran a few minutes. And yes, even with a fairly stout cam the car did idle on only the right side bank of cylinders! Now I wonder what caused that fuse to blow
