Fiat Argo engine issues

I'm getting desperate! My 2018 Fiat Argo with a gasoline engine is giving me fits. The check engine light is on, it stalls sometimes when idling, and I can feel a real drop in power. It has 48136 km. Could it be a bad sensor messing things up, or is something more sinister going on?

Summary of the thread

A 2018 Fiat Argo with a gasoline engine is experiencing issues such as the check engine light being on, stalling when idling, and a noticeable drop in power. These symptoms could be caused by a defective sensor or a more serious issue. A suggested solution is to inspect the fuel system, particularly the fuel volume regulator and high-pressure pump, as these components can affect engine performance.

Sounds familiar! I have an Argo too, and I had similar symptoms a while back. Have you checked the fuel system? Could be the fuel volume regulator?

Fuel volume regulator, huh? Where is that thing located, and what does it even do? I'm guessing it's not a cheap fix?

It controls the fuel pressure going to the engine. On my car, a defective high pressure pump was the culprit. I'd get it checked by a workshop if I were you, as the fuel system is quite sensitive.

Thanks for the heads-up! I took it to a shop, and you nailed it – they said the fuel volume regulator was indeed defective due to a faulty high pressure pump. Cost me 1510€ to replace! Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction, I would have never guessed!
