Vauxhall Adam Rough Running Engine

My 2019 Vauxhall Adam gasoline engine is running rough with a check engine light and power loss, especially when accelerating. It feels like the car is jerking. I suspect it's running too lean. Could this be related to the air-fuel ratio, a faulty EGR valve, or mass air flow sensor?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my Adam. Reduced power and rough running, check engine light too. Was it like the car was struggling to get enough fuel?

Exactly! Struggling for fuel is a perfect way to describe it. Did you also experience the jerking when accelerating? What was the cause in your case? Was it something serious, or could it be a simple fix, like cleaning the throttle body?

Yep, the jerking was there too. Honestly, I tried a few things, but in the end, I had to take it to a workshop. They sorted it out quickly. Best to get it checked by a professional; could be a defective injector.

I was hoping to avoid a trip to the workshop, but it seems like that's the best course of action. I'll book it in and mention the injectors. It was exactly that, an injector issue. Cost me 515€, but the car is running smoothly again.
