Mercedes CLA engine stalling at idle

My 2022 Mercedes CLA with a gasoline engine is making me scream The check engine light is on and the engine keeps stalling at idle I have 160672 km on the clock I am thinking it might be something to do with the air valve or maybe the throttle body being dirty The error memory has something stored but I am not sure what it means Could it be the idle speed thingy I am so frustrated

The symptoms you describe combined with the error code do point to a potential issue with the idle air control valve A contaminated intake is a likely culprit Have you checked for any obvious air leaks

Air leaks How would I even check for those Is that something I could do myself or am I better off just taking it to someone who knows what they are doing

Checking for air leaks can be tricky without proper tools Given the stalling and error codes a professional diagnosis is advisable It does sound like a faulty air valve or related issue The intake contamination is probable A workshop can properly inspect the throttle body and air valve

Thanks for the advice Took it to a workshop and you were right It was the idle air control valve and a filthy intake Cost me 425€ to get it sorted but at least it is running smoothly again Appreciate the help
