Transit diesel rail pressure sensor fault

I'm experiencing an issue with my 2006 Ford Transit diesel. The check engine light is on, and the engine occasionally stalls at idle. I've also noticed a reduction in engine power. The vehicle currently has 198268 km on the clock. Could a faulty rail pressure sensor signal cause these symptoms?

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem. A bad rail pressure sensor can definitely cause those issues. It's like a clogged artery for your engine. Have you scanned for any specific fault codes related to fuel pressure?

Yes, the diagnostic tool indicates a fault with the rail pressure sensor signal. Is replacement the only solution, or could there be other underlying issues affecting the sensor's readings?

While wiring problems can sometimes mimic a bad sensor, a dedicated rail pressure sensor code usually means the sensor itself is the culprit. I'd recommend getting it checked professionally. Could save you time and money in the long run.

Thank you for the advice. I took it to a workshop, and after inspection they confirmed the pressure sensor was defective. Replacing it cost 240€. The engine now runs perfectly.
