Summary of the thread
A 2013 Chevrolet Beat with a gasoline engine is experiencing misfires at 162,493 kilometers, resulting in rough running, a check engine light, jerking during acceleration, and reduced engine power. Possible causes include a faulty ignition coil, fuel pump issues, or a defective fuel injector. A similar case was resolved by replacing a bad fuel injector, which was affecting the fuel mixture. Scheduling a mechanic's diagnosis is recommended to confirm the issue and avoid further complications.

Can you share more about your experience? Did you notice anything else, and did you find the cause of the misfires? I'm trying to narrow things down before taking it to a shop.

Yes, those symptoms are what I experienced. I would try to accelerate, and nothing would happen. I was getting lean codes on a OBD2 scanner, too. It turned out that one of my injectors was bad and messing up the fuel mixture. I say take it to the shop. It will be a mess if you mess up the fuel rail. The shop replaced the whole thing after diagnosing it.

I appreciate you sharing your experience. I think a defective fuel injector is the most likely cause. I'll schedule an appointment with a mechanic for a diagnosis. The repair cost 515€. Thanks again!

Whoa, that sounds familiar! My Beat had rough idle, awful throttle response, and the check engine light was always on. Have you checked the ignition coil? Fuel pump could also be the culprit. Misfiring at that mileage isn't unexpected, but it could be a range of things.
