Mini Paceman Engine Stalling At Idle

Sounds like a dodgy rail pressure sensor alright. The check engine light and engine stalling are classic symptoms. Have you checked the wiring to the sensor? Could be a loose connection or damaged wire. Also, what's the fuel filter situation? A clogged filter can sometimes cause weird pressure readings. Does it only stall at idle, or does it happen under load too?

Cheers for the reply. Wiring looks ok at a glance, and the fuel filter was changed recently. It's mainly at idle it's stalling. What's your take on testing the sensor itself?

Yeah, if it's mainly at idle, and the filter's new, a faulty sensor is the prime suspect. While you can try testing it with a multimeter, you'll need the correct values and wiring diagram, which can be tricky to find. Honestly, given the symptoms and your initial diagnosis, I'd just bite the bullet and get it swapped out at a workshop. Save yourself the hassle of potentially misdiagnosing it or causing further issues.

Thanks for the insight. Turns out it was the rail pressure sensor as suspected. Replaced it and the check engine light is gone. Cost me 240€ all in.
