LandCruiser Jerking Stalling

My 2001 LandCruiser diesel is acting up around 200,000km. Check engine light, jerking when accelerating, whistling turning to hissing under load, sometimes stalls, and fuel consumption is up with less power. Suspect boost pressure sensor or a bad cable/plug. Anyone seen this?

Sounds frustrating! I had similar issues with my old Volvo V70, though the whistling was more of a squeal. Check engine light was always on, driving me nuts. Could be a boost leak somewhere. Have you checked all the hoses and connections around the turbo?

Thanks! I've visually checked the accessible hoses, but no pressure test yet. Did your Volvo have jerking or stalling? What fixed it?

The Volvo didn't stall, but the power loss and check engine light were constant. It was a split in a hidden hose near the intercooler, a pain to find. With the stalling and hissing, I'd get it checked by a workshop. Could be more than just a hose.

Good call, it was a faulty boost pressure sensor and corroded connector. Cost 95€ including parts and labor. Thanks!
