Peugeot 308 Hybrid Engine Running Lean

I'm experiencing an issue with my 2022 Peugeot 308 Hybrid. At 76045 km, the engine seems to be running too lean. The check engine light is on, and I've noticed reduced engine power, rough running, and jerking during acceleration. Could a defective injector be the cause?

Reduced engine power, check engine light, rough running AND jerking? Sounds nasty! Have you checked the basics, like spark plugs or the air-fuel ratio? Could be an oxygen sensor or even the mass air flow sensor acting up. What have you checked so far?

Regarding the air-fuel ratio, is there a way to assess this without specialized equipment? If the oxygen sensor is faulty, would that consistently trigger the check engine light?

Yep, a faulty oxygen sensor can throw that check engine light like crazy, especially with the lean running you're describing. Without proper diagnostics, the air-fuel ratio can be tricky. Honestly, with those symptoms, I'd get it to a workshop. Could save you a lot of headache!

I appreciate your input; it reaffirms my suspicions. I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on. It was indeed a defective fuel injector. The total repair cost came to 515€ Thank you again for the advice.
