Puma engine stalling

Hey, I'm having a weird issue with my 2020 Ford Puma diesel. The check engine light keeps popping on, and sometimes the engine stalls when I'm idling, especially at traffic lights. I'm wondering if it might be something to do with the fuel tank ventilation valve? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm really hoping it's not something major!

Summary of the thread

A 2020 Ford Puma diesel was experiencing engine stalling and a check engine light, particularly during idling at traffic lights. The issue was suspected to be related to the fuel tank ventilation valve, potentially due to clogged hoses affecting fuel pressure. After consulting with a mechanic, it was confirmed that the ventilation valve hoses were indeed clogged, and replacing them resolved the problem.

That sounds frustrating. A faulty tank ventilation valve could definitely cause those symptoms. If the hoses are clogged, it messes with the fuel pressure. Does the engine light come on immediately, or only after driving for a while?

Thanks for the reply! The check engine light usually comes on after driving for about 20-30 minutes, especially if I've been doing a lot of stop-start driving. Does that sound like the ventilation valve issue you were thinking of? I have also read about pressure sensors, could that be related or is it likely something else?

Okay, that definitely points towards the ventilation valve or related hoses. The pressure sensor could be involved, but it's more likely the valve itself if it's intermittent and related to driving time. Honestly, it's probably best to get it checked out by a mechanic to be sure. They can properly diagnose it and prevent further issues.

Thanks so much for your help! I took your advice and brought it to a workshop. Turns out the fuel tank ventilation valve hoses were clogged, just like we suspected. They replaced it and cleared the engine light – cost me about 175€. Really appreciate your help in pointing me in the right direction!
