Why does my Ford S-Max keep stalling while idling?

I have a 2013 Ford S-Max and recently it has been stalling while idling. It starts up fine, but after a few minutes of idling, it will suddenly stall. I've checked the engine and everything seems to be in good condition. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

It's possible that your fuel filter needs to be replaced. A clogged fuel filter can cause stalling and can be easily fixed by replacing it.

Have you checked your spark plugs? Worn or dirty spark plugs can also cause stalling. Try replacing them and see if that solves the problem.

Another potential issue could be a faulty idle air control valve. This controls the amount of air going into the engine while idling. If it's malfunctioning, it could cause stalling. Have a mechanic check it out.
