Caravan engine stalling

My 2008 Nissan Caravan with a gasoline engine is having a weird issue. The check engine light keeps popping on, and the engine has started stalling when idling. A scan points to a leak in the fuel tank ventilation system. I'm thinking it might be the activated charcoal filter. Has anyone else experienced similar issues?

I had a similar issue with my Nissan Caravan. Check for any air flow issues, it might be the pressure sensor tripping.

Thanks! Could you provide a bit more detail? Where should I be looking for these airflow issues and pressure sensors?

I had the exact same stalling and check engine light. It turned out to be a defective activated charcoal filter, part of the emission control system. I just took mine to a workshop.

I replaced the activated charcoal filter after your suggestion of a ventilation system leak, and it seems to have fixed the problem. The light's gone and the idle is stable. It cost me 275€ for the parts and labor. I appreciate the help!
