Entourage Stalling Incorrect Fuel Composition

I'm at my wit's end! My 2008 Hyundai Entourage with a gasoline engine is throwing a fit. The check engine light is mocking me, it stalls at idle, and the error memory is packed with complaints about incorrect fuel composition. I've got 141402 km on the clock. Could bad gas cause all this?

Summary of the thread

A 2008 Hyundai Entourage is experiencing stalling at idle and a check engine light due to incorrect fuel composition errors. Potential causes include bad gas or loose cable and plug connections to the fuel system components. A suggested solution is to inspect these connections, but if the issue persists, consulting a mechanic may be necessary, as a similar case was resolved by fixing a defective cable/plug on a sensor for around 95€.

Ugh, that sounds familiar. I've got an Entourage too, and I went through something similar a while back. The incorrect fuel composition error is a nasty one. Have you checked the cable and plug connections to the fuel system components? Sometimes a loose connection can cause all sorts of havoc. It's like a loose wire on a Christmas tree, everything goes haywire!

Thanks for the tip! Cable and plug connections, you say? Which specific components should I be checking? I'm no mechanic, but I can usually handle basic stuff if I know where to look. Is it near the combustion chamber?

Yeah, it's a pain, right? Honestly, after fiddling around for ages, I ended up taking mine to a workshop. They found a defective cable/plug on one of the sensors related to the fuel system. Cost me about 95€ to get it sorted. Saved me a ton of frustration. Sometimes, you just gotta admit defeat and let the pros handle it. If it was contamination from poor fuel quality it would be a different animal

Thanks, I appreciate the advice! I think I'll throw in the towel and take it to my trusted mechanic. At least now I have a starting point thanks to you. Hopefully it's a quick fix! It sounds just like what you're describing. If it is just a loose connection, 95€ sounds like a steal.
