Which problem results in lean engine operation due to injector fouling in a gasoline direct injection (GDI) system?

💡 Explanation

Injector fouling restricts the fuel flow, which causes reduced fuel mass delivery because it affects the atomization characteristics. Therefore, a lean condition occurs, rather than rich combustion or thermal issues which would stem from other failures.
