Tata's direct-injected turbo petrols — the 1.2 three-cylinder of the Curvv and the 1.5 four of the Harrier and Safari.
⚑ One name, two cylinder counts, which is why this page states none. The 1.2 makes 123 hp and 225 Nm, the 1.5 168 hp and 280 Nm, and they are not the same engine bored out — check the cylinder count before applying anything written about the other.
It is Tata's first petrol with the injector in the chamber rather than the port, and that is the whole of what changes in a workshop. Revotron, the family beside it, is port-injected: its inlet valves are washed by fuel on every cycle and these are not. So carbon builds on the back of the inlet valves from crankcase vapour with nothing to rinse it off, and the symptom — a rough cold start and a misfire that comes and goes under light load — reads exactly like an ignition fault while the plugs and coils are perfect.
A high-pressure fuel pump and a rail running at a hundred times the port-injected pressure are the other difference, and a long-crank complaint belongs there rather than at the low-pressure pump the fault code often names.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
