Saxo engine stalling at idle

Hey, I'm having trouble with my 2003 Citroen Saxo with a gasoline engine. It's got 186924 km on it. The check engine light came on, and it stalls sometimes when idling. Also, the engine power is down, especially when accelerating. I think it might be the fuel volume regulator. Could a bad high-pressure pump cause this?

I had a similar issue with my Saxo. Rough idling and the check engine light were the first signs. Have you checked the car sensors? Could be related.

Thanks. Which car sensors should I check first, considering the symptoms?

If it keeps happening, take it to a good workshop for a full check. It could be the fuel regulator, and the high pressure pump might need replacing.

I took it to the workshop. It was the high-pressure pump, which caused the fuel volume regulator to fail, like I thought. Cost 1510€. Thanks for the help!
