With car of that year , better going to breakers yard and getting injector rail / injectors and replacing .

Injector open circuit has nothing to do with plugs or coils.
If you unplugged an injector and ran it that would flag an open circuit code.
An open circuit is either a broken wire/s or faulty injector.
No current flowing.
So as the previous respondent stated get S/H injector/s but keep in mind it may be the wiring or injector connector plugs.

Get it scanned with "Lexia" Citroens own diagnostics and it should.
French cars often if not always scan better on their on make of diagnostics.
