Avalon hybrid injection nozzle issue

My 2015 Toyota Avalon Hybrid with 190,145 km is starting poorly, fuel consumption is up, engine power is down, idling is uneven, and it sometimes stalls. Could a defective, maybe clogged, injection nozzle be causing this?

I had something similar with my Avalon. Are you sure it's the injection nozzle? My car experienced rough idling and a drop in performance. Turned out to be related to emissions. Maybe check the fuel system?

When you say fuel system, do you mean like a dirty injection valve? Because that's kinda what I was leaning towards. What exactly did you have to do to fix it?

Yes, probably the injection valve! I went to a workshop, they cleaned everything related to the fuel system. I'd recommend doing the same, you probably need someone with the proper tools and knowledge.

Thanks for the insight! I took it to a mechanic, and you were right. Turns out the injection nozzles were indeed very dirty, causing all the problems I described. They cleaned the entire system, and the car is running smoothly again. The whole thing cost me 515€, but it was worth it to get the performance back. Thanks again!
