2003 X-Type Stalling

My wife's 2003 X-Type keeps stalling. She is on a long road trip and this is when it is happening. Whenever she turns her headlights on the car stalls. She also went to accelerate through construction and the car "coughed" and stalled.

Any ideas ?....Thanks !

How many miles?..It could be the fuel filter is plugged up..That would be my first place to look.

After the car stalls, does it start right up?

if so I have the same problem. My car stalls after letting go of the accelerator and trying to accelerate again, like a hiccup.

I tried replacing the fuel filter but still stalls. Thinking about replacing the plugs next? unless anyone has a better idea?
