| Re: Misfire Fairly common on that engine. What can happen due to the way the injector is mounted into the head (clamped on one side) the massive force on the injector it actually pitches over ever so slightly. Over a period of time the injector seal blows through. This means instead of diesel being injected into the engine it bypasses and flows back down the return line.
