Explorer Hybrid Misfires

Alright, I'm pulling my hair out here. My 2021 Ford Explorer Hybrid is throwing combustion misfires. 164330 km on the clock. The engine runs rough, check engine light's on, jerks like crazy when accelerating, and the power is noticeably reduced. I'm thinking it might be a fuel injector issue. Any ideas?

Sounds familiar! I had similar symptoms on my Explorer. Rough idle, check engine light, and the throttle response was garbage. Have you checked for specific cylinder misfires?

Yeah, it's showing misfires in multiple cylinders. You think it's the fuel injectors too? What did you end up doing to fix it?

Yep, mine was the injectors. I'd suggest getting them properly diagnosed. Could save you from just throwing parts at it. I ended up taking mine to a workshop, and they confirmed it.

Thanks for the advice! Took it to the shop, and you were spot on. Defective fuel injectors. Cost me 515€, but at least it's running smooth again!
