LX Diesel Stalling at Idle

Interesting. I had a similar issue with my LX, although it was a while back. The symptoms sound very familiar. I'm just curious, did it affect the fuel injection? How did the error code manifest? I experienced that my fuel rail became defective due to the vibrations of the engine, maybe this helps.

Thanks for the quick response! Yes, I suspect it's affecting the fuel injection since the engine stalls and power is reduced. I haven't yet investigated error codes; my plan was to check the sensor connector, and maybe replace the sensor, since replacing the whole rail is probably pretty expensive. Does that match your experience? Did the sensor show an unexpected high or low voltage?

Honestly, I didn't get that far into diagnosing it myself. I recognized the symptoms from a previous experience on a totally different car and immediately took it to a trusted workshop. It turned out to be the pressure sensor in my case too. Since you suspect the sensor, maybe it's the wisest thing you can do.

Thanks. I appreciate the input. I'll take your advice and get it checked out by a workshop. The workshop confirmed it was the fuel rail pressure sensor. The replacement cost was 240€. Now the car runs like new.
