Why does my Kia Sportage's engine stall when I come to a stop?

I have a 2018 Kia Sportage and every time I come to a stop, the engine stalls and the car shakes a bit before it turns off completely. What could be causing this and what should I do to fix it?

It sounds like you may have a faulty Idle Control Valve. This is a common issue in Kia Sportages and can cause stalling when coming to a stop. I would recommend bringing your car to a trusted mechanic to have it replaced.

Have you checked your fuel filter? This could also be causing stalling issues. If it's clogged, it can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, causing it to stall. Try replacing the fuel filter and see if that solves the problem.

I had a similar issue with my Sportage and it turned out to be a problem with the fuel pump. If it's not delivering enough fuel to the engine, it can cause stalling. I would suggest getting it checked by a mechanic and possibly replacing the fuel pump.
