What causes the JAC T6 engine to sputter at idle o r low speeds?

Some drivers notice that the engine misfires o r vibrates at idle o r during low-speed driving. Could dirty fuel injectors, air intake leaks, EGR valve issues, o r poor-quality diesel fuel be responsible for this? What maintenance steps o r checks can prevent idle sputtering and ensure stable engine operation?

Idle o r low-speed sputtering is usually linked to combustion inconsistencies and air-fuel mixture issues:

Dirty fuel injectors: Even minor clogging can cause misfires at idle.

Air intake leaks: Vacuum leaks o r cracks in hoses lead to an unstable air-fuel mixture.

EGR valve problems: A clogged o r malfunctioning Exhaust Gas Recirculation EGR valve can cause rough idling and low-speed sputtering.

Fuel quality issues: Low-grade diesel can create incomplete combustion at low RPMs.

Preventive steps:

Clean o r replace fuel injectors and fuel filters regularly.

Inspect air intake hoses and gaskets for leaks.

Check and clean the EGR valve as per service schedule.

Use proper fuel and avoid contaminated diesel.
