What Causes a Car to Stall When Accelerating After Starting?

[RosalieAnn]

Stalling when accelerating can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Dirty throttle body: This condition can cause the throttle plate to open less or become stuck during acceleration, leading to stalling. In this case, clean or replace the throttle body and perform throttle adaptation. 2. Faulty ignition coil, open or short circuit in the coil: Check by replacing with a new ignition coil for comparison testing. 3. Dirty fuel filter: The fuel system may not function smoothly during acceleration. Replace the fuel filter in this situation. 4. Faulty fuel pump: The fuel pump cannot maintain proper fuel pressure or provides insufficient fuel injection while driving, causing stalling during acceleration. Replace the fuel pump and clean the fuel tank if necessary. Also, inspect the throttle body and fuel injectors.
