Peugeot 5008 rough idling stalling

Hey, I have a problem with my Peugeot 5008 (2010) gasoline engine. It's got 256000 km on the clock. Lately, it's been running really rough, especially when it's idling – sometimes it even stalls. The check engine light popped on, and there's a definite jerking when I try to accelerate. I've checked the cable and plug connections - all seem somehow defective. Any ideas?

A Peugeot 5008 with a gasoline engine and high mileage is experiencing rough idling and stalling, accompanied by a check engine light and jerking during acceleration. The initial inspection revealed potentially defective cable and plug connections. The problem was identified as a defective ignition coil, which was replaced, resolving the issue.

Sounds like you might have an ignition coil issue. I had a similar problem with my 5008 last year. Rough running, stalling... classic symptoms. Have you checked the coils themselves for any cracks or damage? What about the spark plugs?

Thanks for the quick reply! I didn't check the ignition coils for cracks. What exactly did you do when you had the same problem? I mean, did you replace all the coils or just the faulty one? And what about the spark plugs, should I replace them too?

I initially tried just replacing the dodgy coil, but honestly, it’s a pain to diagnose which one is the culprit without proper gear. Plus, if one's gone, the others might be on their way out too. I ended up biting the bullet and replacing all the coils and spark plugs at the same time. Solved the issue right away! Though, to be honest, I'd recommend getting it checked at a workshop. Could be something else entirely.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on – defective ignition coil. They replaced it for 95€, and now it runs smoothly again! I really appreciate your help.
