Thanks! I visually inspected the harness and plug, didn't see anything obvious. Did your symptoms include jerking under acceleration too? And did you try cleaning the contacts before replacing the sensor or harness?

Yep, jerking under acceleration was definitely there. Cleaning the contacts didn't help in my case, sadly. Ultimately, I bit the bullet and took it to a workshop. They confirmed the sensor was faulty and replaced the connector as well. Best bet is probably to get it checked by a professional.

Appreciate the confirmation and advice! I brought it in. Turns out the fuel pressure sensor was indeed defective, and the plug was corroded as you suspected. New sensor, new plug, and a bill for 95€. Runs like new again. Cheers!

Sounds familiar! I had similar issues with my C30. Rough running, especially at idle, and the check engine light was a constant companion. Did you check the sensor wiring harness for any corrosion or damage? That's where my problem was.
