What Causes a Car to Suddenly Lose Power?
1 Answers
A few cylinders not working or operating poorly can cause the engine to run unstably and reduce power. Insufficient cylinder pressure is usually caused by several factors: burnt or unsealed valve seats, or their detachment; overly soft or malfunctioning valve springs; unsealed or burnt cylinder gaskets; stuck or misaligned piston rings; excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder. Here are additional details: Solution: After driving the car to a safe area, take a moment to relax and calm down. You can then drive the car to a 4S shop yourself or call the 4S shop's customer service for assistance. If driving to the 4S shop yourself, proceed slowly and avoid routes with uphill sections to prevent another loss of power, which could easily lead to rollback and rear-end collisions.
