There are a few potential reasons for your engine stalling. Firstly, check your air filter and replace it if it's dirty or clogged. Dirty filters can restrict airflow and cause stalling. Additionally, check your spark plugs as worn or dirty plugs can also cause stalling. Lastly, it could be a problem with your fuel system such as a clogged fuel filter or a faulty fuel pump. I recommend getting a diagnostic check done at a trusted mechanic to pinpoint the exact issue.

In my experience, frequent stalling in a Kia Picanto is often due to a malfunctioning idle control valve. This valve controls the air intake while the car is idling and if it's not working properly, it can cause the engine to stall. I suggest having a mechanic check this valve and replace it if needed.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Picanto and it turned out to be a faulty crankshaft position sensor. This sensor determines the engine's speed and position and if it's malfunctioning, it can cause stalling. I recommend getting this sensor checked and replaced if necessary.
