Lexus LFA rail pressure sensor fault

I'm having a weird issue with my 2010 Lexus LFA, gasoline engine. The check engine light is on, and it sometimes stalls at idle. Also feels like I've lost some power. Mileage is at 232840 km. I scanned it and it's showing a fault with the rail pressure sensor signal. Could it just be a faulty sensor?

Greetings! I experienced a similar predicament with my old 2012 BMW 328i, albeit with a different engine configuration. The symptoms you described—the check engine light illumination, the occasional engine stall, and the perceived reduction in engine power—align remarkably with my past tribulations. May I inquire as to whether you have observed any fluctuations in fuel economy accompanying these symptoms?

Thanks for the reply! Fuel economy seems normal, nothing out of the ordinary. So what exactly was the issue with your BMW?

Ah, I see. Well, in my case, the problem stemmed from a defective fuel pressure sensor, precisely as you suspected. Considering the similarities in our symptoms and the error code you retrieved, I would venture to say that a faulty sensor is indeed the most plausible explanation. I would advise you to take your car to a reputable mechanic for a thorough diagnosis and sensor replacement. I fear my amateur advice can take you no further.

Thanks for the insight! I took it to the shop, and you were right. Replaced the fuel rail pressure sensor, and that fixed it. Cost me 240€. Runs like new again.
