Mini Countryman rough idle and stalling issues

My 2019 Mini Countryman is giving me fits. The check engine light is on. It idles rough, stalls sometimes, and jerks when accelerating. Could this be related to fuel pressure?

Rough running and stalling on a Countryman sounds familiar. I had similar issues. First, have you checked for any engine misfire codes? Fuel delivery problems often trigger those. Could be a faulty fuel pump relay. Also, when was the last time you inspected your fuel injector connections?

Misfire codes, yes. How would I check the fuel injector connections?

Yes, those misfire codes point towards fuel starvation. As I recall, a defective fuel pressure sensor could be the culprit. It's plausible a faulty sensor is disrupting the fuel pump and affecting fuel delivery. Inspect the sensor's cable and plug connection. If that looks good, I'd suggest a visit to a workshop. They can properly diagnose the fuel system.

It was the fuel pressure sensor, just like you suspected. Defective cable connection. Replaced it for 95€. Runs like new again. Thanks for the help.
