What causes a car to suddenly stall while driving and fail to start?
1 Answers
There are several main reasons why a car may fail to start after stalling: 1. Fuel system: Check for issues such as a damaged fuel pump, ruptured fuel lines, clogged carburetor inlet, or an empty fuel tank. In such cases, the car can actually start if you remove the air filter, press the accelerator pedal, and observe fuel spraying from the carburetor's acceleration nozzle, indicating the fuel system is functioning properly. 2. Electrical system: Issues like low-voltage power failure or engine overheating causing anti-explosion system failure during driving can lead to stalling. Check the ignition and starter switch. Remove the central high-voltage wire and start the engine with the starter. If there's no spark from the central high-voltage wire, it indicates an electrical system problem. 3. Low-voltage circuits: A short circuit in the low-voltage circuit can cause intermittent stalling. Inspect the low-voltage circuits.
