Kangoo engine stalling

I'm having a heck of a time with my 2014 Renault Kangoo (gasoline engine). The check engine light is mocking me, and the engine just died on me twice at idle today! I've been digging around online, and it seems like it could be the tank ventilation valve messing with the EVAP system. I even tried checking the hoses myself, and they look kinda clogged. Has anyone else run into this?

Possible. Does it happen only after refueling? How many kilometers are on the car?

It's not just after refueling, happens randomly. The car has 174693 km. Could it also be a faulty pressure sensor, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Mileage is getting up there. Could be the valve itself failing, or as you suspected, the hoses are indeed blocked. Check engine light and stalling points to a definite issue with the emission system. I'd recommend a workshop visit.

Thanks for the confirmation! Took it to the shop, and you were spot on. Clogged hoses on the tank ventilation valve were the culprit. They replaced them, and now she runs like a charm. Cost me 175€, but at least the check engine light is gone!
