Diesel engine misfires can be caused by several factors, including faulty fuel injectors, which may lead to improper fuel delivery, or issues with the fuel quality, such as contamination or incorrect cetane rating. Other potential causes include air intake restrictions, low compression in the cylinders, or malfunctioning sensors that affect engine timing and performance. Additionally, worn-out glow plugs can hinder cold starting, leading to misfires during initial engine operation. Regular maintenance and diagnostic checks can help identify and resolve these issues.
1: Replace the injector. 2: If still misfiring, replace the engine.
A flashing check engine light normally means you have a misfire.
No the gage has no effect on firing. An engine that is overheating will misfire.
Could be a misfire. In need of a tune up.

A hot engine may misfire due to the way the heat affects metals and how they make contact. The problem in a 2005 X type 2.0 diesel engine could be due to improper gapping on the spark plugs. Set them according to the car manufacturer's specifications to correct the problem.
he took parts and put it together
No, a diesel is a compression firing engine and a petrol is a spark firing engine. Diesel fuel will not burn in a petrol engine with spark plugs.
What make and engine?
one of the causes of all three symptoms is a bad fuel injector
A flashing check engine light is an indication of a severe engine misfire.
No, never put diesel in a gasoline engine it will foul up the sparkplugs in your engine, clog it up, and make it smoke alot. Cold Diesel in a diesel engine isn't too good either because when diesel gets cold it gels up, that is why most diesel engines have a built in heater to warm up the engine and fuel before starting. Hope this helps
