Chevrolet Move Engine Jerking

I'm having some trouble with my 2021 Chevrolet Move (gasoline engine). I've got 177356 km on it and lately the engine's been running unevenly. The check engine light comes on, and there's an error stored. It also jerks when accelerating. I've been reading about possible causes, and fuel injectors, the crankshaft sensor, ignition coil, air filter, and spark plugs are all mentioned. Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

A 2021 Chevrolet Move with 177,356 km is experiencing uneven engine performance, a check engine light, and jerking during acceleration. Possible causes include issues with fuel injectors, the crankshaft sensor, ignition coil, air filter, and spark plugs. An exhaust leak was suggested as a potential cause, and upon inspection, a crack in the exhaust system was found and repaired, resolving the issue.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Sounds frustrating! I had a similar issue with my old Opel Corsa, though not exactly the same symptoms. Check engine light and jerking acceleration too. Have you checked for any obvious exhaust leaks? That could throw things off.

An exhaust leak, huh? I hadn't considered that specifically. Where exactly should I be looking for a leak? Any specific areas known to be problematic?

With my Opel, it was a crack near one of the joints in the exhaust manifold. If you can't easily spot it by eye, maybe feel around (when the engine is cold, of course!). Honestly, though, for something like that, a workshop's inspection might be the best bet.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a local shop, and you were spot on about the exhaust leak. Turns out there was a crack in the exhaust system, and they repaired it. Cost me 265€, but the car runs smoothly again. Appreciate the help!
