What Are the Reasons for Frequent Engine Stalling While Driving?
2 Answers
Frequent engine stalling while driving is caused by issues in the intake system, fuel system, and ignition system. The reasons and solutions for each system are as follows: Intake System: The reasons for intake system issues include detachment of the air filter box, intake pipe, crankcase ventilation valve pipe, and crankcase intake pipe. The solution is to replace the parts. Fuel System: Fuel system malfunctions are generally due to the use of substandard fuel, leading to clogged fuel lines, damaged fuel pumps, or blocked carburetor inlets. The solution is to use qualified gasoline. Ignition System: Issues such as a clogged throttle, carbon buildup on the throttle, or abnormal throttle opening. If the problem lies with the throttle, the solution is to clean the throttle.
When I was learning to drive, I kept stalling the car. The instructor said it was mainly due to incorrect starting operations. If the clutch is released too quickly or the accelerator is pressed too hard, the engine suddenly can't handle the load and stops; when starting on a slope, forgetting to use the handbrake can cause the wheels to slip and the engine to stall; if the idle speed is set too low or the air filter is clogged, insufficient air intake leads to poor combustion. It's recommended for beginners to practice on flat roads first, gently press the accelerator and slowly release the clutch to get used to the rhythm. Maintain a stable speed and avoid sudden acceleration. Check if the air filter is dirty—replacing it might help. Regular engine maintenance can also prevent stalling, and I eventually reduced the number of stalls.
