Technically you are correct. The bosch system is continuous with a fuel injecter for each cylinder. More accuratly when that cylinder fires if the injecter has put a different amount of fuel out for it(either too much, not enough or a crummy spray pattern) then it would give a different specific impulse. For that matter anything that would cause an imbalance would do that including a stuck or sticking valve, a misajusted valve, carbon build-up, a problem in the ignition to that cylinder, etc. A good baseline test would probably be to do a compression test and make sure all cylinders are within 5% of each other and if they are then to test the fuel injectors and also the metering unit for balance.
