Getz Engine Stalling After Fuel Filter Change

Hi, I'm having trouble with my 2004 Hyundai Getz (gasoline engine). It's got about 45k km on it. The check engine light is on, the engine sometimes stalls at idle, and power feels reduced. This started right after I changed the fuel filter. Could a defective fuel pressure regulator cause these symptoms? I suspect error entry after the fuel filter replacement might be the cause.

Summary of the thread

After changing the fuel filter in a 2004 Hyundai Getz, issues such as engine stalling at idle, reduced power, and the check engine light appearing were observed. These symptoms were suspected to be caused by a defective fuel pressure regulator. Upon replacing the fuel pressure regulator, the problems were resolved, confirming it as the source of the issue.

Hey, I had similar issues with my Getz. Rough idle and reduced power, plus the engine light. Did you check the pressure sensor? For me, it turned out to be a faulty fuel pump relay. Might be worth a look!

Thanks for the tip! Where is the fuel pump relay located, and how did you diagnose that?

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure where it is in the Getz. I fiddled with it a bit, and the problem disappeared for a while. Then it came back, and that's when I took it to a workshop. They identified the regulator pretty quickly. Could be worth checking that first to avoid unnecessary expenses.

It was indeed the fuel pressure regulator! Replaced it for 45€ and everything's running smoothly again. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
