What are the reasons why the engine cannot start after stalling?
2 Answers
The reasons why the engine cannot start after stalling are: 1. There is a problem with the ignition system or the fuel system; 2. There is no rotation speed or the rotation speed is too slow when starting, which may be due to problems with the starter or the battery. The function of the engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning the expanding gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston to do work. The maintenance methods of the engine are: 1. Use qualified engine oil; 2. Use qualified coolant and antifreeze; 3. Regularly clean the scale in the water tank; 4. Regularly clean the carbon deposits in the engine; 5. Regularly replace the three filters of the car; 6. Maintain a reasonable rotation speed.
That day my car stalled on the road and just wouldn't start, which was a real headache. The most likely issue was a weak battery. Old batteries have high internal resistance, causing voltage to drop sharply after stalling—if it falls below 11 volts during startup, the insufficient current can't crank the engine. Another possibility is loose or oxidized battery terminals, leading to poor contact and blocked current flow. The starter motor can also be problematic—sometimes the gear gets stuck or the coil burns out. Don’t forget to check the fuses, as a high-current short circuit can blow a fuse and cut off the circuit. Try measuring the battery terminal voltage with a multimeter; it should read 12.6 volts or higher when healthy. To avoid such trouble, make sure to turn off the AC and lights when parking to prevent excessive battery drain, so you don’t end up stranded again next time.
