Corsa engine light rough running stalling

I've got a 2015 Vauxhall Corsa diesel with a weird problem. The check engine light comes on, the engine runs rough, and sometimes it even stalls when I'm idling. Plus, it's jerking when I try to accelerate. It only has 26497 km on the clock. Any ideas? Could it be a fuel injector issue?

I had something similar happen with my Corsa. The check engine light and rough running sound familiar. Have you checked the cable or plug connection to the fuel pressure sensor? That was the cause of my issue.

Fuel pressure sensor, huh? Where exactly is that located, and is it something I could check myself, or am I better off taking it to a workshop? I'm not really a mechanic.

It's usually located on the fuel rail. While you could try checking the connection, if you're not confident, it's best to get it checked by a professional. It could be other things in the fuel system, like the fuel pump, but the sensor issue is common. I ended up going to the workshop, they found a defective connector.

Thanks for the help! I took it to a workshop, and you were right - it was the fuel pressure sensor cable! New one installed, cost me 95€, and now it runs perfectly.
