CrosslandX Fuel Pressure Sensor Issue

My 2017 Vauxhall CrosslandX diesel is acting up. Check engine light's on, running rough, stalls at idle, and jerks like crazy when I accelerate. Mileage is at 130792 km. I'm betting it's the fuel pressure sensor, maybe a dodgy cable or plug. Anyone else seen this?

Sounds like a fuel delivery issue. Could be the pressure sensor, or maybe even a fuel injector problem. Have you checked the sensor's wiring harness for any damage or loose connections?

Yeah, I gave the wiring a quick look, didn't see anything obvious. But what exactly should I be looking for? Like, how would a bad connection even cause all these symptoms?

A bad connection can cause intermittent signals, leading to incorrect fuel delivery. This results in rough idling, stalling, and jerking. Given the symptoms, and that you suspect the fuel pressure sensor, it's best to get it checked professionally to avoid further issues. Could be more than just a loose wire.

Took it to the shop; you nailed it. Fuel pressure sensor cable was indeed fried. 95€ later and she's purring like a kitten. Thanks for the help!
