Safrane Stalling Idle Power Loss

Hey, my 2000 Renault Safrane with a diesel engine is giving me grief. Check engine light's on, stalls at idle, and feels like it's lost half its power. Suspect the fuel volume regulator. Anyone else run into this? Could it be the high pressure pump?

Sounds familiar. Had a similar issue with my old Opel Insignia. Engine misfire and limp mode, though no stalling. Did you check the car sensors? Could be related to fuel efficiency or something like that...

Car sensors, huh? Interesting. Which ones specifically caused the problems on your Opel?

I can't tell you exactly which ones but it ended up being a defective high pressure pump, which then damaged the fuel regulator. My suggestion is to go to the workshop!

Thanks for the insight. It was indeed the fuel volume regulator. High pressure pump defective as well. Cost me 1510€ to get it sorted. Appreciate the help!
