Seeking Advice: Hyundai ix20 Engine Light Activation, Fuel Consumption, and Reduced Power Potential Fuel Pressure Sensor Issue

Hey there! It sounds like you're dealing with something similar to what I went through with my 2014 Hyundai Accent. No doubt these symptoms can get under your skin real quick! Now, like you were suspecting some fuel pressure sensor problems, I too initially thought it was a sensor issue. But the last time I went to the garage, they discovered that it was actually a cable connections defective issue! They had to track down the problem through the wiring harness, and in the end, it turned out that there were multiple shorts and bad connections. The garage ended up having to fix cable connections in several spots. They not just fixed the blatant shorts, but also did an insulation check on my entire electrical system to prevent this from happening again. And no joke, afterwards, no more engine light annoying me, no more smell, no jerky movements, and definitely no unnecessary guzzling of the fuel. I can vouch for the fact, this repair requires expertise but once done, it does solve the problem efficiently unlike temporary sensor replacements. So don't get disheartened, looks like your work is cut out for you but it's absolutely manageable. Dig around your car's electrics a bit (preferably get a mechanic), you might find something. Best of luck with your ride!

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds eerily similar to what I'm going through right now with my ix20. I began to suspect it might be more than just a sensor issue. Just wondering, if you can recall, how much did this cable connections repair set you back? And have any other problems popped up since you got the car fixed? You know, kind of like a ripple effect. Fingers crossed your Accent is still running smoothly!

Yo! Seems like our car troubles are a match made in heaven, eh? All jokes aside, the repair bill for the defective cable connections wasn't as bad as I feared - it cost me 155.00€ rounded off. I reckon, getting it fixed sooner rather than later saved me from a heavier bill down the line. Since then, I've had a major breather knowing that the issue with the Fuel pressure sensor was all cleared up after visiting my mechanic. No new gremlins have popped up, thankfully. It's been smooth sailing - no quirky habits, no unexpected lights flashing on the dash, just pure, hassle-free driving. I guess sometimes it's just about facing the beast head on and not letting the problem linger longer than it should, right? So keep your chin up! Just get to the bottom of this, and soon you'll be enjoying those carefree drives again. And as always, I'm here if you need to chat more about our car adventures! Keep me posted on your progress.

Hah, well, if we're going to have car troubles, at least we're in good company, right? You've given me hope! 155.00€ doesn't sound too bad at all, considering the peace of mind it'll bring. Hearing about the smooth journey post repair gives me confidence. I'm definitely going to push for fixing this sooner and not prolong the issue. I'll look into the wiring harness too - better to tackle the beast now, as you said. I appreciate your support! I'll keep you in the loop when I finally sort this out. Here's hoping my experience turns out to be as hassle-free as yours post-repair. Cheers!
