What Causes a Manual Transmission Car to Stall When Starting?

[OHector]

Manual transmission cars stall when starting due to not shifting gears promptly after releasing the clutch. The correct starting method is: 1. After starting the car, fully depress the clutch with your left foot to prepare for the semi-engaged state; 2. Shift into first gear; 3. Gently push the turn signal lever downward with your left hand to activate the left turn signal, alerting vehicles in front and behind; 4. Press the horn button in the center of the steering wheel to warn pedestrians ahead, preparing to start; 5. With your right hand, press and hold the button in front of the handbrake, then lift and fully lower the handbrake; 6. Slowly raise your left foot until the clutch reaches the semi-engaged state. When the vehicle begins to vibrate slightly, it indicates sufficient power. Release the throttle, depress the clutch, and shift into second gear.
