1 Answers
When a car fails to start after stalling due to high water temperature, it is typically caused by fuel system malfunctions. Below are specific details about common fuel system issues in gasoline engines: 1. Overly rich air-fuel mixture: Symptoms include gasoline leakage around the valve stems; insufficient engine power with poor acceleration; excessive carbon buildup on spark plugs; and in severe cases, automatic engine stalling. 2. Location of occurrence: Overly rich mixture problems usually occur in the air filter and carburetor sections. 3. Common causes include: excessively dirty air filters with clogged mesh; choke valve not fully opened; improper cleaning of the main jet resulting in damage that increases fuel flow rate.
