What Causes a Car to Lack Power When Reversing and Stall Easily?

[DeVera]

There are several reasons why a car may lack power when reversing and stall easily: 1. Stalling when starting: This happens when the clutch pedal is released too quickly without pausing at the "half-engaged" position, combined with insufficient throttle input, or missing the point where it should "pause." 2. Keeping the left foot on the clutch pedal after starting: This is a common misconception among beginners who believe that pressing the clutch pedal prevents stalling. In reality, this only increases clutch wear and is a sign of an inexperienced driver.
