Puma Misfires Defective Injector

My 2022 Ford Puma (gasoline engine) with 135195 km is acting up. Getting combustion misfires, rough engine running, check engine light, jerking when accelerating, and reduced power. I suspect a defective injector. Has anyone else seen this?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my old 2016 Opel Astra. Check engine light, rough idle, the whole nine yards. In my case, it turned out to be a faulty fuel injector. Did you notice any change in fuel consumption, like the car drinking more than usual?

Fuel consumption seems normal, so I'm not sure it's a fuel injector. Was your Astra showing the same symptoms even without increased fuel consumption?

Yes, the Astra exhibited the same symptoms without a noticeable increase in fuel consumption. Think of it like a leaky faucet – sometimes the drip is small enough that you don't immediately see the water bill skyrocket, but it's still a problem. Given your Puma's symptoms and mileage, it's highly probable that you also have a defective injection valve or injector. I'd recommend getting it checked by a workshop.

Thanks for the advice. Took it to the workshop, and you were spot on. Defective injector confirmed. Repair cost me 515€, but the car runs smoothly now.
