Q
can misfire damage engine

Yes, engine misfires can indeed cause damage over time if not addressed. Misfires occur when the air-fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders doesn't ignite properly. This can lead to unburned fuel entering the exhaust system, potentially damaging exhaust components like the catalytic converter—a costly part to replace. Furthermore, consistent misfires can result in uneven power delivery, which strains the engine, leading to increased wear and potentially harming components like the pistons and bearings due to uneven combustion pressures. It’s not just a performance issue; prolonged misfiring can have serious consequences, including decreased fuel efficiency and increased emissions. To avoid potential damage, it's advisable to diagnose and fix misfires as soon as they are detected, whether the cause is faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or a clogged fuel injector. Regular maintenance is key to preventing misfires and keeping the engine running smoothly.
