Skoda Kamiq Engine Stalling At Idle
Summary of the thread
A 2020 Skoda Kamiq with a gasoline engine was experiencing stalling at idle, accompanied by a check engine light. The issue was suspected to be related to a faulty idle air control (IAC) valve or a dirty throttle body. After cleaning the throttle body and replacing the IAC valve, the problem was resolved, and the car returned to smooth operation.

Throttle body location? Could I clean it myself? How can I tell if the idle air control valve is faulty?

The throttle body can get gunked up easily. Cleaning it might help, but if the IAC valve is truly faulty, you'll probably need to replace it. I'd take it to a workshop for something like that. Do you want to risk messing with the engine idle yourself?

The problem is solved. The intake was heavily contaminated. I had the throttle body cleaned and the IAC valve replaced. It set me back 425€, but the car is running smoothly now. Thanks for the assistance.

Stalling at idle with the check engine light on? I had a similar issue with my Kamiq. Have you checked the throttle body? Is the engine idle speed erratic?
