Kuga Tank Ventilation Issue

So, the pressure sensor being off caused your stalling issue as well? Was it just a matter of cleaning the hoses, or did you have to replace the valve itself?

Yes, the sensor was definitely implicated, but the root cause in my situation was blockage. If I remember correctly, the intake caused by the blockage affected the pressure sensor readings. I advise you to take it to the workshop and get it checked properly. You could try cleaning, but for the sake of your warranty and proper diagnosis, I wouldn't take any chances.

Turns out you were spot on. Took it to the shop, and it was the tank ventilation valve – hoses were indeed clogged. New valve and a bit of cleaning sorted it. Cost me 175€.

I had a similar problem with my Kuga. Engine light, stalling... turned out to be the tank ventilation valve. Have you checked the pressure sensor? If the hoses are clogged, the pressure readings might be off, triggering the light and causing the engine to stall. I'm no expert, but I recall dealing with this not too long ago.
