Citroen DS5 rough running and stalling

My 2016 Citroen DS5 (gasoline) is running rough, stalling at idle, check engine light is on, and jerking during acceleration at 101901 kilometers. Diagnostics suggest a bad ignition coil, maybe a bad cable or plug. Anyone seen this?

I had similar symptoms on my old Opel Astra. The diagnostics pointed to a faulty coil pack as well.

What were the specifics of the issue you encountered with your Opel Astra? Were the symptoms identical, and did the diagnostics definitively identify a defective coil pack, or were there other contributing factors?

Yes, the symptoms were identical. Replacing the coil pack resolved the issues completely, although I would suggest going to the workshop and running a dedicated diagnostic protocol for Citroen to be sure.

I had the vehicle inspected based on the recommendation. A defective ignition coil was identified, caused by a faulty connector. Replaced the component for 95€, and the symptoms are gone.
