Peugeot 2008 Engine Misfires

My 2014 Peugeot 2008, gasoline engine, with 235163 km is running rough, and the check engine light is on. I feel a jerking motion when accelerating, and the engine power feels reduced. Scanning shows combustion misfires. Could this be a fuel pump issue, or something else?

Rough engine running and misfires sound nasty. Reminds me of when my old Opel Corsa was acting up. Same symptoms - jerking, power loss. Turned out to be a defective fuel injector. It was like trying to run a marathon with a stone in your shoe. Have you looked into the injectors at all?

Interesting. I was wondering about fuel-related issues. How did you pinpoint the injector as the culprit? Were there any other symptoms or tests you performed?

After checking spark plugs and coil packs, the mechanic ran a diagnostic test that specifically pointed to a cylinder misfire and an injector issue. It was pretty clear once they scoped it. If you're getting misfires, it's worth checking out, but I'd recommend getting it checked by a workshop.

I took your advice and went to a workshop. They confirmed it was indeed a defective fuel injector. The repair cost me 515€, but the car is running smoothly again!
