What is one common result of a misfire in an engine?

A common result of a misfire in an engine is engine stalling. When one or more cylinders fail to ignite the air-fuel mixture at the right time, it disrupts the engine's normal operation. This can lead to a loss of power and cause the engine to stall, particularly at low speeds or when idling.

In a situation where a misfire causes the engine to lose balance, it can lead to a lack of sufficient power to keep the engine running, resulting in stalling. This is especially noticeable in situations where all cylinders should be firing in a coordinated manner to maintain smooth operation.

While other issues may arise from a misfire, such as increased fuel consumption and heightened emissions due to incomplete combustion, the immediate and noticeable consequence often manifests as engine stalling, making this a critical aspect to monitor during engine performance diagnostics.
