Camshaft sensor problems

Stalls when driving SolvedSolved

Ford Fiesta 2002  71000 miles
Hi, I own a Ford Fiesta and sometimes, when braking at a stop or yield sign, it suddenly stalls. The camshaft sensor was changed, but it keeps stalling. Everything started when the distribution belt was replaced because the car vibrated noticeably when at dead centre. The vibrations disappeared but it now stalls whenever it wants. I wanted to point out that there is no problem to start the engine back again when it stalls. What can be failing? Hope someone can give me a hand.

Finally my car's failure has been found. I took it to a different mechanic who noticed that, at 3000 rpm the vehicle always stalled, but this did not happen at 2000 rpm. He then made another test that consisted in removing the fuel deposit plug and driving without it, simply with the cap closed. And it did not stall. Apparently, it was a valve in charge of expulsing gases that was obstructed, so it was cleaned and the problem disappeared. I was told that there are some other cases in which it can happen that the spare fuel pipeline was obstructed or even the front valve that goes to the deposit. My case was the cheapest one, thanks God!
