Onix check engine light

My 2021 Chevrolet Onix with a gasoline engine is throwing a check engine light at just over 21000 km. I suspect a faulty air valve. I'm thinking it's a vacuum leak, maybe the hose connection from the pump to the valve. Anyone seen this before?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my Onix. Check your manifold pressure. Is the engine stalling or idling rough? It could be a cracked or disconnected vacuum hose on the air intake.

Stalling does happen sometimes, yeah. Where exactly should I be looking for these hoses?

It's tough to describe, but they're generally around the air valve and intake manifold area. Honestly, if you're not comfortable tracing vacuum lines, it might be worth taking it to a shop. Could save you some headache.

Appreciate the insight. Turns out it was exactly what I suspected – a defective hose connection. Cost me 175€ to get it sorted.
