Kangoo Misfire Defective Injector

Hi, I've got a 2016 Renault Kangoo, gasoline engine, with a misfire problem. It's done 123816 km. The engine runs rough, the check engine light is on, and it jerks when accelerating. I suspect it's the injection system, but I'm not sure where to start.

Hey, I had a similar problem on my Kangoo. Does it feel like a loss of power too? I'd check the injectors, could be a faulty fuel pump as well. Has the engine warning light come on?

Yes, there is definitely reduced engine power. If it was the fuel pump, wouldn't there be other symptoms too? And yes, the check engine light is on.

Could be other symptoms, yes, but fuel starvation can cause misfires too. If the check engine light is on, best get the error code read. I ended up having a defective injector, which matches your suspicion. It's hard to diagnose without proper tools.

Thanks for the insight! I took it to a workshop, and you were right - defective injector. They replaced it, and it cost me 515€. Runs like new now!
