Nissan Caravan Engine Running Rich

Hi, I've got a 2006 Nissan Caravan diesel with 92596 km. The engine seems to be running rich. Getting reduced power, check engine light, rough running, higher fuel consumption, and some jerking when accelerating. Could a defective injection valve cause these symptoms?

A rich mixture, especially with those symptoms, does point towards fuel delivery issues. Has the check engine light thrown any specific codes? Have you checked the oxygen sensor or spark plugs?

I haven't checked the oxygen sensor or spark plugs yet. Where would I find the fault codes or is there a way I can check the injectors?

The fault codes can be read using an OBD2 scanner, usually plugged in under the steering wheel. If you suspect the injectors themselves, a mechanic can perform a pressure test. However, considering your symptoms, a defective injector is plausible and going to the workshop would be a good idea.

Thanks. I took it to the workshop. You were right, an injector was defective. Cost me 515€ to replace.
