Can an automatic transmission car stall?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission models do not easily experience stalling, whereas manual transmission models may frequently stall due to low driving proficiency. However, it cannot be ruled out that automatic transmission cars may also stall, mainly due to the use of inferior fuel causing engine carbon buildup and stalling. The following are the reasons for automatic transmission car stalling: 1. Circuit failure, which may occur during driving due to low-voltage power failure or quenching. In this case, mainly check the ignition switch, starter switch, and fuse box. Stalling caused by a short circuit in the low-voltage line is intermittent; inspect the vehicle's low-voltage lines. 2. Equipment failure, usually involving the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The car may start initially but stall after a while, then restart only to stall again. 3. Fuel system failure, such as a damaged fuel pump, ruptured pipeline, clogged carburetor inlet, or empty fuel tank. In such cases, the car can be restarted but with difficulty. Issues with the ignition system or engine overheating and anti-knock system can also cause stalling.
