Common Injector Problems in Vauxhall Meriva

• •
  Rough idle and engine vibration — Worn injector nozzles cause uneven fuel spray, leading to rough idle at low RPM. Most noticeable when the engine is cold.
• •
  Excessive exhaust smoke — Black or blue-grey smoke on acceleration indicates poor fuel atomisation. This is often caused by carbon buildup on the injector nozzle tip.
• •
  Poor fuel economy — A worn or leaking injector delivers incorrect fuel quantities, reducing efficiency by 10–20% in severe cases.
• •
  Engine misfire under load — Intermittent misfires during acceleration suggest one or more injectors are failing to deliver the correct fuel pressure.
• •
  Difficult cold starting — Degraded injector nozzles struggle to atomise fuel at lower cranking pressures, causing extended crank times in cold weather.
