Peugeot 1007 Jerking Stalling

Having a bit of a head-scratcher with my 2007 Peugeot 1007, diesel engine. It's got 255844 km on the clock. Lately, it's been jerking when I accelerate, the check engine light's on, and feels like I'm missing some power. I've got a strong exhaust smell. Plus, it runs rough and sometimes stalls. Error memory has some codes stored. Anyone else had similar?

Whoa, sounds frustrating! Jerking, check engine light, stalling... not good. Could be a lot of things, honestly. Have you checked the intake manifold sensor? Or maybe you've got a gasket leak somewhere in the manifold system itself? Is it throwing any specific misfire codes? I mean, a leak could definitely cause those symptoms.

Manifold sensor, eh? Is there a simple way to check that? I mean, without ripping everything apart? Or how would I spot a manifold leak, assuming that's the culprit? I'm not seeing anything obvious.

Well, checking the sensor can be tricky without proper tools. As for the leak, sometimes you can hear a hissing sound, but it's not always obvious. Given all those symptoms, especially the stalling and error codes, I'd bet on a significant manifold issue. Have you considered getting it checked out at a workshop? I hate to say it, but it might save you a lot of time and frustration.

Thanks for the advice. Took it to the shop, and you were spot on, the intake manifold was defective, apparently scorched. Cost me 1180€ to get it all sorted. Appreciate the help!
