P0208

Injector Circuit Malfunction - Cylinder 8

DTC P0208, sometimes indicated as P020800 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the air/fuel mixture causing injector circuit malfunction - cylinder 8.

There are a few potential causes for this code, including a problem with the injector itself, a problem with the wiring or connector to the injector, or a problem with the fuel system.
If the code is intermittent, it may be caused by a problem with the injector itself. If the code persists, it may be caused by a problem with the wiring or connector to the injector, or a problem with the fuel system.
The first step in diagnosing this code is to check the condition of the injector. If the injector is dirty or clogged, it may need to be cleaned or replaced. If the injector is working properly, the next step is to check the wiring and connector to the injector. If the wiring or connector is damaged or corroded, it may need to be replaced. If the wiring and connector are working properly, the next step is to check the fuel system for a possible leak or restriction.

2012 DODGE CHARGER with 95000.0 miles

Sealed transmission makes it very difficult to adjust fluid levels that can keep transmission from freezing and locking up. Currently my vehicle has a horrible burning smell coming from the transmission and shifting is becoming irradic with can cause traffic issues. It occurs mostly in town driving after stopping for extended periods of time (street lights). Recently the check engine light came on with the P0208 code.
