Bipper starting issues

My 2015 Peugeot Bipper with a gasoline engine is giving me grief! It has about 254837 km on it. The engine refuses to start sometimes, stalls when it finally idles, and the check engine light is on. It also runs rough and seems to be drinking more fuel than usual. I even plugged it in, and yeah, error codes galore! Anyone else run into something like this?

I had similar symptoms with my Bipper. Check the fuel pump's electrical connections – cable and plug. It could be as simple as that.

Really? Where exactly should I be looking? Anything specific I should check for besides obvious damage?

Yes, on my car it was the same. A faulty connection to the fuel pump triggered almost identical symptoms. But I wouldn't start swapping parts. I would highly recommend visiting a workshop to diagnose the error more precisely before attempting repairs.

Thanks for the tip! I took it to a mechanic. Turns out, a wire to the fuel pump was indeed loose and corroded, just like you said. They cleaned the connection and replaced a short section of wire. Cost me 95€, but it fixed everything!
