Chevrolet Move fuel pressure sensor issue

Afternoon. My 2015 Chevrolet Move with a gasoline engine is giving me some grief. The check engine light popped on, and it's running rough, especially at idle where it sometimes stalls. I've also noticed some jerking when accelerating. It's got 142969 km on the clock. I'm suspecting it might be the fuel pressure sensor, but could a defective cable or plug connection be the culprit?

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.

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.

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!
