Hybrid Wrangler Stalling: Bad Fuel Regulator Alert

Experienced similar symptoms on a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Hybrid. After changing the fuel filter, the check engine light started flashing and the engine would stall at idle. The root cause turned out to be a faulty fuel pressure sensor combined with a failing fuel pump. The pressure drop was significant enough to trigger the engine management system to enter protection mode. This explains your reduced power symptoms, as the computer limits performance to prevent engine damage. The rough running at idle is typical of low fuel pressure issues. The fuel pressure regulator might be involved, but in my case, the diagnostic revealed the fuel pump was not maintaining consistent pressure under varying load conditions. This required replacement of: Fuel pump assembly, Fuel pressure sensor, Fuel pressure regulator This was a serious repair that required dropping the fuel tank. The repair significantly improved fuel efficiency and completely resolved the stalling issues. The check engine light cleared after the repair and proper system pressure was restored. Would strongly recommend having a professional diagnose the exact pressure readings before replacing parts. The symptoms match fuel delivery issues, which need proper attention to prevent potential engine damage.

Thanks for sharing that experience with the Cherokee. I went through something really similar with my Wrangler last year. The rough idle and stalling symptoms were identical to what I dealt with. The fuel rail pressure sensor and pump assembly needed replacement to fix the issue completely. Can you remember roughly how much the total repair cost? Also curious if youve had any other fuel system problems since getting it fixed? My repair was a bit tricky since the fuel tank had to be dropped, but its been running perfectly since. Just want to compare notes on the long-term reliability after this type of fix.

Glad I could help with the Cherokee fuel system info. Since fixing the fuel pressure regulator and getting the error code cleared after the fuel filter change (45 Euro diagnostic fee), the system has been running flawlessly. No more rough idle or pressure drops. The repair shop confirmed what we discussed, the fuel delivery issues were causing the check engine light and performance problems. My total repair ended up being much less complex than yours since I only needed the regulator replaced, not the entire pump assembly. For the past 8 months, fuel pressure has remained stable with no stalling or rough running. The engine management system shows normal readings across all parameters. Your case with the full pump replacement was definitely more involved, but these fixes typically result in long-term reliability when done properly. The car starts perfectly and maintains steady idle now, completely different from how it ran with the faulty regulator. These fuel system repairs tend to be very reliable once properly diagnosed and fixed.

Thanks everyone for the helpful replies. Finally got my Wrangler back from the shop yesterday after dealing with this engine misfire situation. The mechanic confirmed the fuel pressure issues and found a failing fuel pump that was causing the rough idle. Total repair came to 890 Euro including parts and labor. They had to drop the fuel tank to replace the pump assembly and pressure regulator. The fuel rail also needed cleaning due to debris buildup. Car runs perfectly now, no more stalling or rough running. The check engine light is finally off and power delivery is back to normal. Much better experience with this shop compared to my last mechanic. The diagnostic confirmed what others mentioned about the fuel delivery problems. Really glad I got it fixed before any serious engine damage occurred. Will definitely keep an eye on the fuel system maintenance going forward.
