Kuga Hybrid Engine Misfires

I have a 2022 Ford Kuga Hybrid with about 59551 km on the clock. Recently, I've been experiencing some rough engine running and the check engine light keeps appearing. Also when accelerating, the car jerks noticeably, and engine power seems reduced. Diagnostics indicate combustion misfires. Anyone else had this?

Summary of the thread

A 2022 Ford Kuga Hybrid with 59,551 km was experiencing rough engine running, a check engine light, and noticeable jerking during acceleration, diagnosed as combustion misfires. Possible causes included issues with the spark plugs, ignition coils, or a faulty fuel injector. The solution involved consulting a workshop, where a defective injector was identified and replaced, resolving the problem.

I am familiar with that issue, I own a Kuga too. When it comes to combustion misfires, rough running and a check engine light, the possibilities are manifold. I would start by asking: have you checked the spark plugs and ignition coils? And what is the exact error code you are getting? Have you logged the values with a diagnostic tool in order to check the injection cycles?

Thanks for the quick response. I haven't checked the spark plugs myself, no. I am not too familiar with logging the values and checking the injection cycles either, to be honest. What am I looking for there? I will get the exact error code when I get the chance. It was something related to "Cylinder Misfire" anyway...

Understood. If your diagnostic tool points towards cylinder misfires, the injection system becomes suspect, alongside the ignition system. A faulty injection valve, also referred to as "fuel injector", can cause such a misfire. But without advanced equipment and experience, these issues are difficult to reliably diagnose. With the potential of consequential damages, I would advise you to consult an experienced workshop.

Thanks for the detailed advice. I took it to the workshop and they confirmed a defective injector. Repair cost was around 515€. Runs smoothly again!
