Safrane engine runs rough

Good day. I am experiencing issues with my 1999 Renault Safrane (gasoline engine). The engine runs rough, stalls at idle, and the check engine light is illuminated. Furthermore, the car jerks when accelerating. The car's mileage is 225791 km. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection.

A 1999 Renault Safrane is experiencing rough engine performance, stalling at idle, and jerking during acceleration, with the check engine light illuminated. The suspected cause is a defective cable or plug connection. Another individual with similar issues suggests checking the ignition coil, which was the problem in their case. Upon inspection, the ignition coil was confirmed as the issue, and replacing it resolved the problem.

Hey there, sounds familiar! I had similar symptoms with my Safrane. Rough running, stalling... a nightmare. Have you checked your ignition coil? That was the culprit in my case.

Thank you for your suggestion. Could you please provide more detail? Did the check engine light also illuminate in your case, and what was the eventual cause?

Yes, the check engine light was definitely on! Turned out to be a faulty ignition coil. Seriously, get it checked at a workshop. Saved me a lot of headache!

Thank you for the advice. The problem was indeed the ignition coil. Repair cost 95€ I appreciate your assistance.
