Getz poor starting and stalling

My 2008 Hyundai Getz diesel is starting poorly and sometimes stalls when idling. The check engine light is on. It's got about 179k km on the clock. Could this be a camshaft sensor or the encoder wheel?

I had a similar problem with my old Opel Astra, but it had a gasoline engine. Car stalling and check engine light were the main symptoms. Have you tried getting the error code read? That would be the first step.

Thanks! I haven't read the error code yet. I was hoping to get some opinions before heading to a mechanic. Did replacing the sensor fix your Opel, or was there more to it?

For me, the error code pointed directly to the camshaft sensor. Replacing it solved the issue temporarily, but the root cause was a defective encoder wheel on camshafts. So, the sensor failed again. You may want to visit the workshop.

Okay, that’s really helpful to know. I'll get the error code read and then take it to a workshop to have the sensor and the encoder wheel checked. I will post what happens after the repair. Thanks!
