Can the car still be driven if the fuel injector is broken?

It is recommended not to drive the vehicle if the fuel injector is broken. A car with a faulty fuel injector can start, but it will experience severe shaking, inability to accelerate, lack of power, and significantly higher fuel consumption. In severe cases, it may damage the engine. The reasons for a faulty fuel injector are as follows: 1. Internal spring fatigue, leading to reduced elasticity. Each fuel injection compresses the spring once, and prolonged engine operation can cause the spring to fatigue. 2. Breakage due to poor spring quality. 3. Clogged injector nozzle, caused by improper fuel-to-air ratio, incomplete combustion, and excessive carbon buildup, leading to blockage. 4. Wear of the fuel needle due to poor quality or natural wear over time. If the injector nozzle is clogged, it can be cleaned. For the other three issues, replacement is the only solution.
