Lexus NX Engine Stalling Reduced Power
Summary of the thread
A 2023 Lexus NX owner experienced engine stalling, reduced power, and a check engine light, suspecting a fuel issue, possibly the fuel volume regulator. Another individual with similar symptoms suggested the high pressure pump as a potential cause. After consulting a mechanic, it was confirmed that the high pressure pump was indeed the issue, and replacing it resolved the problem.

Yeah, the acceleration isn't as smooth as it used to be. It's a bit jerky. You mentioned the high pressure pump – was that the culprit for you? And how did you figure it out?

Yep, high pressure pump was the problem. The dealer diagnosed it. Apparently, a defective fuel volume regulator can trigger all those symptoms. Bit of a pain, cost me around 1510€ to get it sorted. I'd take it to a workshop to be sure.

Thanks for the info! I took it to my local mechanic, and you were spot on – it was the high pressure pump. They replaced it, and everything's running smoothly now. Really appreciate the help!

Sounds familiar! I had similar symptoms with my NX. Check engine light, rough idling, and definitely felt a power loss. Could be the high pressure pump. Is it struggling on acceleration too?
