SPN 1322 — Engine Misfire for Multiple Cylinders

System: Engine / Fuel

The engine computer has detected misfire on more than one cylinder, usually from uneven crankshaft speed between firing events.

Can I keep running it?

HIGH — limit use, diagnose now

Rough running under load can damage the engine and the DPF. Limit use until you know whether it is fuel supply, injectors or compression.

Likely causes

  1. Air in the fuel or low fuel supply pressure
  2. Worn, sticking or leaking injectors
  3. Low compression from rings or valves
  4. Contaminated fuel (water, wrong fuel)
  5. Injector wiring fault affecting a shared circuit

Checks & fixes (easiest first)

  1. Check fuel supply pressure and look for air with a clear line
  2. Read injector balance rates and run a cylinder cutout test
  3. Measure injector return flow
  4. Run a relative compression test
