1. Rough idling: If your Protege's engine is idling roughly, it could be a sign that one or more of the fuel injectors is not functioning properly.
2. Stalling: If your Protege stalls frequently, especially when idling or decelerating, it could be due to a faulty fuel injector.
3. Difficulty starting: If your Protege cranks but doesn't start, or if it starts and then stalls immediately, it could be due to a clogged or damaged fuel injector.
4. Loss of power: If your Protege feels like it's losing power, especially when accelerating, it could be a sign that the fuel injectors are not providing enough fuel to the engine.
5. Check engine light: If the check engine light is illuminated on your Protege's dashboard, it could be due to a problem with the fuel injectors.
6. Fuel leaking around injectors: If the injectors are very worn out, fuel may be leaking around them and cause you to smell fuel.
7. Engine misfires/running on rich or lean mixture: A bad injector can cause a lean mixture, rich mixture, or no mixture at all in different cylinders, making your car run rough or cause problems starting.
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to have your Protege's fuel injectors checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the engine.
