Summary of the thread
A 2022 Honda Integra hybrid is experiencing issues with running rich, leading to reduced engine power, rough operation, increased fuel consumption, and jerking during acceleration. The problem is suspected to be related to the fuel injection system, possibly due to a faulty valve or injector. A similar issue was resolved by replacing a faulty fuel injector, and it is recommended to have diagnostics run to confirm the cause and prevent further damage.

Yeah, the fuel smell is definitely stronger, especially when I first start it up. Did you ever figure out exactly what was causing your rich mixture? Was it injectors? And did it cause any long-term damage before you caught it?

Yep, the strong fuel smell was the same symptom I experienced. I didn't want to risk any further damage, so I took it straight to the workshop. They ran some diagnostics and confirmed it was a faulty fuel injector. Honestly, I'd recommend doing the same before you end up with bigger problems. Cost me around 515€ to get it sorted.

Thanks a million for the advice! I'll book it into the shop ASAP. Hopefully, it's just an injector and nothing more serious. Appreciate you sharing your experience – makes me feel a lot less like I'm going crazy here!

Whoa, sounds rough! I had a similar issue with my Integra a while back. Check engine light was on, and the fuel economy went to pot. A rich mixture means you're burning too much fuel, which can gunk up your spark plugs and even damage your oxygen sensor over time. Is the smell of fuel stronger than usual?
