Yes, carbon buildup can cause a cylinder misfire. Excessive carbon deposits on spark plugs, fuel injectors, or intake valves can disrupt the proper combustion process, leading to incomplete combustion and misfires. This buildup can restrict airflow, affect fuel atomization, and result in poor engine performance. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help prevent carbon buildup and its associated issues.
