Why does my Ford EcoSport's engine stall at idle?

I have a 2018 Ford EcoSport and lately, I have noticed that the engine stalls when I am idle at a stoplight. It has happened a couple of times and I don't know what could be causing it. Any ideas?

Hi John, it's possible that your EcoSport has a faulty idle control valve. It's responsible for maintaining a consistent idle speed and if it's not functioning properly, it can cause stalling. I recommend taking it to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair.

John, check your throttle body and clean it if it's dirty. A dirty throttle body can also cause stalling at idle. If that doesn't fix the issue, have the fuel pressure checked as it could be a sign of a clogged fuel filter or a failing fuel pump.

I had the same issue with my EcoSport and it turned out to be a faulty crankshaft position sensor. It's responsible for monitoring the position of the crankshaft and if it's malfunctioning, it can cause stalling at idle. Get it replaced and your stalling issue should be resolved.
