SMAX Engine Running Rich
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Ford SMAX is experiencing issues with the engine running too rich, leading to reduced power, a check engine light, rough running, and increased fuel consumption. The problem could be due to a defective injector, oxygen sensor, or spark plugs. The suggested solution is to have the vehicle checked by a workshop, which led to the identification and replacement of a faulty injection valve.

Thanks, I'll check those. Were your symptoms exactly the same? What was the final diagnosis in your case?

Yep, pretty much identical. Jerking when accelerating too. Turned out to be a defective injector. I’d suggest getting it checked by a workshop, that's what I did.

Thanks for the tip! It was indeed the injection valve. Cost me 515€ to replace. Appreciate the help!

I had a similar issue with my SMAX. Check engine light, rough running... Sounded like it was struggling to breathe. Did you check the oxygen sensor or spark plugs?
