Tacuma engine stalling

Hi, I've got a 2006 Chevrolet Tacuma with a gasoline engine that's giving me some grief. The check engine light keeps popping on, and the engine occasionally stalls when idling. Mileage is at 76561 km. I'm suspecting a fuel tank ventilation system issue, could it be a defective activated charcoal filter maybe?

A 2006 Chevrolet Tacuma is experiencing engine stalling and a check engine light, suspected to be related to the fuel tank ventilation system. The issue is likely due to a defective activated charcoal filter. A similar problem was resolved by replacing the charcoal filter, which is a common cause, though a faulty purge valve or pressure sensor could also be responsible. The recommended solution is to have the vehicle inspected and repaired at a workshop.

Hey! I had a similar problem with my Tacuma. Check engine light and stalling... Sound familiar? Did you notice any drop in fuel efficiency?

Interesting. Fuel efficiency seems normal. How did you fix it?

Yeah, mine was the charcoal filter, part of the fuel tank ventilation system. Could be a faulty purge valve or pressure sensor too, but the filter is the most common culprit. Best to take it to a workshop to be sure.

Thanks for the info! I took it to the workshop, and you were right, it was the charcoal filter! Cost me 275€ to get it sorted. Really appreciate the help!
