Kia Rio engine problems when warming up

Hi everyone, I have a 2006 Kia Rio with a gasoline engine and 288,000 km on the odometer. I'm experiencing the engine shutting off by itself. Specifically, it sometimes happens when the car gets warm after a few kilometers, and then it stalls. After a one-hour break, it starts and runs perfectly for the rest of the day. I've already drilled a hole in the gas cap to alleviate vacuum problems, but the problem persists. Has anyone experienced something similar or have suggestions as to what might be wrong?

A 2006 Kia Rio with a gasoline engine is experiencing stalling issues when the engine warms up after driving a few kilometers. The problem temporarily resolves after a one-hour break. A potential cause could be a faulty crankshaft position sensor, which may fail to send the correct signal to the engine control unit when warm. It is suggested to inspect the sensor for damage or loose connections and test its resistance with a multimeter to ensure it meets specifications.

Check the crankshaft position sensor, as it can cause the engine to stall when it gets warm. A faulty sensor might not send the correct signal to the engine control unit, leading to stalling. Inspect the sensor for any visible damage or loose connections. If you have a multimeter, you can test its resistance to ensure it's within the manufacturer's specifications. Let me know how it goes or if you have any questions!
