Vauxhall Adam engine stalls after fuel filter change

Hi, I have a 2018 Vauxhall Adam with a gasoline engine and 110801 km on the clock. Recently, the check engine light illuminated, and the engine stalls at idle. There's also a noticeable reduction in engine power. I suspect a defective fuel pressure regulator. The error entry occurred right after I changed the fuel filter myself. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Hello. I also drive an Adam, and your symptoms sound familiar. Could be a pressure sensor issue related to the fuel system. Was there a pressure drop? Did you check the fuel rail?

Thanks for the quick reply! I haven't specifically checked for a pressure drop, but it's certainly a likely culprit given the symptoms and the timing. Can you elaborate on what you experienced and how you identified the fuel rail as a potential issue?

For me it was similar, with misfires at idle. I would advise that you go to the workshop.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I'll take it to a workshop and have the fuel pressure regulator checked. It was exactly that. New pressure sensor installed for 45€, problem solved!
