Fuel pressure sensor

The fuel pressure sensor measures the amount of pressure in the fuel lines. As soon as the pressure in the lines is high, the fuel pump receives a signal and switches off. If the pressure in the pipes drops, the fuel pump receives a signal to pump more fuel towards the pipes. If the fuel pressure sensor does not work properly, the fuel pump will receive incorrect signals and values. This can cause the pressure in the fuel system to become too high or too low. Too high or too low pressure in the fuel system has a negative influence on the operation of the engine. The engine can lose power, but it can also be damaged if you do not identify a defect in time.

Fuel pressure sensor broken

When the fuel pressure sensor fails, it is important to identify it quickly and replace the part. If you continue to drive this, you run the risk of damage to the engine. A number of symptoms can indicate that the fuel pressure sensor is faulty. The first common symptom of a faulty sensor is poor starting of the car. When wrong signals are sent to the computer system, the start can take longer than usual. In some cases, the car may not even start at all. Another symptom is reduced engine performance. For example, the engine may deliver less power or use fuel inefficiently. In the case of serious defects, the engine can even stall while driving. When noticing reduced engine performance, check that the engine light in the dash comes on. This is also a symptom that can identify a failing sensor.

Replace fuel pressure sensor

Replacing the fuel pressure sensor can be done yourself with a little technical insight. When handling the fuel system, wear fuel-resistant gloves, protective clothing and safety glasses. Fuel is a chemical that can better protect your eyes and skin.

Fuel pressure sensor

The fuel pressure sensor ensures that the car's engine receives just enough fuel to function properly. When the fuel pressure sensor stops working properly, the fuel pressure may deviate from the standard value. This can then cause the car to lose power, be difficult to start or not start at all. The sensor is therefore of great importance for the correct functioning of the fuel system. At Winparts you can buy fuel pressure sensors from top brands such as Bosch, Febi and Vemo. Simply enter your car model on the website, the correct parts for your vehicle will then be displayed.
