Mini Cooper combustion misfires

I am experiencing combustion misfires in my 2005 Mini Cooper. The engine is running rough, the check engine light is illuminated, and I am observing jerking during acceleration, accompanied by reduced engine power. Preliminary diagnostics suggest a defective injection valve, potentially a fuel injector issue. Has anyone encountered similar symptoms, and what was the resolution?

I had a similar issue with my Mini Cooper. The engine was misfiring, and the check engine light was on. Have you checked the spark plugs? That was my first thought. It could also be the fuel filter.

Thank you for your input. I did examine the spark plugs; they appear to be in good condition. Could you please elaborate on the symptoms you experienced with the fuel injector issue? Did you notice any specific problems with throttle response?

Yes, the throttle response was definitely affected. The car felt sluggish, especially when accelerating. It turned out that one of the fuel injectors was faulty. I'd recommend getting it checked out by a workshop. It's best to have them diagnose it properly to confirm.

I appreciate you sharing your experience. It does appear I was on the right track. The diagnostic pointed to a faulty fuel injector. I have had all injectors replaced. The engine now runs smoothly, and the throttle response is back to normal. The total cost came to 515€.
