Ford F Hybrid rough running

I'm having a terrible time with my 2023 Ford F hybrid. It's got 168185 km on the clock and recently it's started running really rough. Sometimes, it even stalls when I'm sitting at a light. The check engine light is on, of course, and it feels like the car is jerking when I try to accelerate. Any ideas? I'm pulling my hair out!

The symptoms you describe are consistent with a defective ignition coil. Have you checked the cable and plug connections to this component? A loose or corroded connection is often the culprit.

Thanks for the quick reply! How would I go about checking the connections myself? Is it something I can do without special tools, or am I better off just taking it to a professional?

While a visual inspection of the connections is possible without specialized tools, proper diagnosis often requires diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the exact coil and rule out other potential causes. I would recommend visiting a qualified workshop.

Alright, thanks for the advice. Took it to the shop, and you were spot on! Turns out it was a faulty connection on one of the ignition coils. 95€ later, and she's running like new again!
