Trafic Combustion Misfires

I am experiencing combustion misfires with my 2005 Renault Trafic gasoline engine. The mileage is 239649 km. Symptoms include rough engine running, check engine light, jerking when accelerating, and reduced engine power. I suspect a defective injection valve/injector, but would appreciate insights before proceeding.

I had similar issues with my Trafic. Rough idle, poor throttle response, and the engine felt like it was choking. Have you checked the fuel pump? A weak fuel pump can mimic injector problems by not providing enough pressure.

The fuel pump delivers a constant flow of fuel. How would insufficient pressure lead to intermittent combustion misfires, similar to the effect of a malfunctioning injection valve?

I understand your concern regarding constant fuel flow, but it would be worthwhile to have your Renault diagnosed at a workshop. The cause of the misfires might be more complex than originally anticipated.

Thank you for the advice. I followed your advice and had the injectors checked. Indeed, one injector was faulty. Replacing it for 515€ resolved the issue.
