Kuga Hybrid Rich Running Defective Injector
Summary of the thread
A 2020 Ford Kuga Hybrid was experiencing issues such as running excessively rich, reduced engine power, a check engine light, rough running, higher fuel consumption, and jerking on acceleration. The problem was suspected to be a defective injector. After visiting a workshop, it was confirmed that a faulty injector was causing the issue, and replacing it resolved the problem.

Thanks. Were there any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)? Did replacing those parts fix the issue in your Opel Insignia?

Yes, there were DTCs for a rich mixture. Replacing those parts only helped temporarily. The real problem was a faulty injector over-fueling the engine. I'd suggest a good workshop.

Took the Kuga to a workshop. They confirmed a defective injector. Replacement fixed it. Total cost: 515€. Thanks for the help.

I had a similar issue with my 2018 Opel Insignia. Nearly identical symptoms. Have you checked the air filter and spark plugs? A clogged air filter or fouled plugs can cause a rich mixture.
