Peugeot 206 rough running and stalling

Hi, I've got a 2013 Peugeot 206 with a gasoline engine. The check engine light is on and the engine runs rough, sometimes stalling at idle. It also jerks when accelerating. Mileage is at 234112 km. Could it be the fuel pressure sensor?

Hey there! Rough running and stalling definitely point towards fuel delivery issues. The fuel pressure sensor is a good place to start. Have you checked the sensor's wiring and plug connection? A loose or corroded connection there could cause all sorts of problems before you even think about replacing the fuel pump.

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't checked the wiring yet, to be honest. Where exactly is the fuel pressure sensor located on the 206?

On your 206, it's usually located on the fuel rail. Give the plug and wires a good inspection for any damage or corrosion. If everything looks okay there, the sensor itself might be the culprit, but honestly, without proper diagnostics, you're just guessing. Might be time to visit a workshop, just to be sure.

Okay, I appreciate the advice. Took it to the shop, and you were right, it was a defective plug connection on the fuel pressure sensor. They fixed it for 95€. Runs like new now.
