Estima rough running and stalling

My 2007 Toyota Estima (gasoline engine) has a check engine light on, rough running, and stalls at idle with 175865 km. It also jerks when accelerating. I suspect the fuel pressure sensor. Anyone experienced something similar?

I had a similar issue with my Estima. The symptoms sound very familiar. Did you check the cable and plug connection to the fuel pressure sensor? That was the culprit in my case.

Thanks! I'll check the connections. Was the rough running constant, or did it come and go? Did you notice any impact on your fuel economy?

For me, the rough running was intermittent at first, then became more frequent. And yes, the fuel economy definitely took a hit. I'd recommend checking the connections thoroughly, but if that doesn't fix it, get the sensor checked at a workshop. Could save you a lot of headache.

Thanks! I checked the connection and it looked okay, so I took it to the workshop. It was a defective connection to the fuel pressure sensor, just like you said. They replaced the plug, and now it runs great. Total cost was 95€ Much appreciated!
