Thanks! Yes, it's code P0172 (System Too Rich). I checked the fuel cap, and it seems fine. No recent work on the fuel system, which is weird! You mentioned the fuel mixture, where do I start looking for problems?

Okay, P0172 points to the fuel mixture being off. Given the stalling and the error, and based on what I've read about Chevy Grooves, a defective cable or plug connection of a component could cause these symptoms! You should definitely get it checked out at a workshop, because if it's a defective cable or plug connection, it might be a quick fix. You don't want to mess around with the fuel system yourself, especially with it running lean or rich, as it could damage the engine!

Thanks! I took it to my mechanic, and you nailed it! It was a faulty connection on one of the fuel sensors. They cleaned and secured the connection. Total cost was 95€, so nothing major. I appreciate the help!

Whoa, incorrect fuel composition? That sounds serious! Is it throwing a specific code? Have you checked the fuel filler neck and cap to make sure there's a good seal? A bad seal can mess with the fuel mixture. Has any recent work been done on the fuel system?
