Why is my Vauxhall Zafira Life engine stalling?

I have a 2010 Vauxhall Zafira Life and recently it has been stalling while I'm driving. It mostly happens when I come to a stop at a traffic light or when I'm slowing down to make a turn. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

It sounds like your car may have a faulty idle air control valve. This valve helps control the airflow to the engine when the car is at a stop and if it is clogged or malfunctioning, it can cause the engine to stall. I suggest taking your car to a mechanic to have the valve checked and replaced if necessary.

Another possible cause for engine stalling could be a dirty or faulty mass air flow sensor. This sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine and if it is dirty or not working properly, it can affect the air to fuel ratio and cause the engine to stall. Try cleaning the sensor with a mass air flow cleaner or have it replaced by a mechanic.

Have you recently replaced your spark plugs and air filter? Worn out spark plugs or a dirty air filter can also cause engine stalling. Make sure to regularly check and replace these components to prevent stalling.
