UX Hybrid Injection Fault

I'm having a weird issue with my 2022 Lexus UX hybrid. It's got about 120k on the clock, and I'm starting to suspect a faulty injection system. I've noticed a pretty significant jump in fuel consumption lately, and the engine feels like it's lost some power. Sometimes, it even stalls when I'm idling, which is really annoying. Also, I've seen some smoke puff out when I accelerate hard. I've had a quick look and reckon it's probably a dodgy cable or plug connection. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

I drive a UX too. I recall reading about a similar issue. Was there any air leak involved? If so, it could be related to a fuel problem.

Interesting. I haven't checked for air leaks specifically. Where did you read about it? Any idea where I should start looking for potential leaks?

I think it was a post on another forum. But I had the same symptoms, and it turned out something similar was wrong. If I were you, I'd go to the workshop. It may be a faulty cable or plug connection of the component as you mentioned.

That's good to know. I'll definitely check for air leaks and take it to the workshop. Turns out it was, like you said, a faulty cable or plug connection. Cost me 95€, which isn't too bad. Appreciate the help!
