Can water in fuel cause pressure code?
Car started to barely run on the highway after getting 3/4 tank of gas 15 miles down the road. Started slowing down while cruise was on and lost throttle, never stalled. Threw a code. Coasted off highway. Cranked longer than usual and barely ran. Had it towed after it sat for 30 mins is started right up to reposition for wrecker. Checked the code, pressure code off a fuel rail sensor. Couldn't get it to malfunction at the shop. Took fuel samples, had some water in it. Is the fuel the problem? I'm pretty disgusted. Haven't driven it in like 9 days. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

From what I understand, it can. I’m not sure if you saw my other post, but please make another appointment with your dealer and PM me with your dealer, mileage, VIN, the full concern you’re experiencing, and contact info so I can escalate this for you as soon as possible.
