Ikon engine stalls at idle

My 2011 Ford Ikon diesel has a weird issue. The check engine light comes on, and the engine stalls sometimes when idling. I've checked the gas cap, and it seems fine. Could it be a fuel tank ventilation problem? Mileage is at 214827 km.

I had a similar problem with my Ford, although it's a Fiesta. The engine light was on, and it would stall at red lights. It turned out to be a clogged hose in the fuel tank ventilation system. Does your car have trouble starting sometimes too?

Thanks for the quick reply! No, it starts fine, actually. Where exactly were the hoses clogged in your Fiesta? I'm wondering if I can check it myself before taking it to a mechanic.

Honestly, I couldn't tell you exactly where. It's all part of the emission system and fuel tank pressure sensor. I just took it to the shop; they diagnosed it pretty quickly. Cost me around 175€ to fix. I'd suggest doing the same if you're not comfortable messing with it yourself.

Okay, good to know. Thanks for the advice! I'll take it to a workshop and mention the ventilation system hoses. Hopefully, it's a similar issue and doesn't cost me too much. Cheers!
