Hi All,

I have been asked about an issue with a 2003 V6, It spluttering and running rough with lack of power.

The ECU shows a misfire on cylinder 6 error code.

Putting injector cleaner through it seems to have improved the running for a couple of days.

Sometimes turning it off makes it run a bit better.

Apart from plugs, leads and injector, what else could be the issue?

Thanks

Did you try swapping the objected with another to see if the problem moves with the injector ?

Spark plug or HT lead. A failed injector usually shows an open curcuit error.
