Chevrolet Move fuel pressure sensor issue
Summary of the thread
A 2015 Chevrolet Move was experiencing issues such as a check engine light, rough idling, stalling, and jerking during acceleration. The initial suspicion was a faulty fuel pressure sensor, but the possibility of a defective cable or plug connection was also considered. After consulting with a mechanic, it was confirmed that the problem was due to a defective cable to the fuel pressure sensor, which was replaced, resolving the issue.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I haven't checked the sensor voltage yet. Could you elaborate on the best way to test the sensor with a multimeter, and what readings I should be looking for?

Given your vehicle's symptoms and mileage, and considering the potential for wiring issues, it is prudent to perform a methodical diagnosis. However, without specialized equipment and detailed knowledge of the Chevrolet Move's fuel system, accurately interpreting multimeter readings can be challenging. While a DIY approach is admirable, I would cautiously suggest consulting a trusted, certified workshop for a comprehensive assessment. They possess the necessary tools and expertise to pinpoint the fault and ensure a reliable repair.

Appreciate the advice. Took it to a local mechanic. Turns out it was indeed a defective cable to the fuel pressure sensor, just as I suspected. They replaced the cable and plug connection. Total cost was 95€. Runs like a charm now!

Greetings. The symptoms you describe certainly point towards a fuel delivery issue, and the fuel pressure sensor is a prime suspect. Before condemning the sensor outright, I would advise a thorough inspection of the wiring harness and connector associated with the sensor. Look for signs of corrosion, damage, or loose connections. A break in the circuit or a poor connection can indeed mimic a faulty sensor reading. Have you checked the sensor's voltage with a multimeter? That could give us a good indication if the sensor is truly defective, or if the issue is external.
