What Causes a Sudden Loss of Power While Driving Normally?
1 Answers
The reasons for a sudden loss of power while driving normally: 1. Ignition system issues: The vehicle's ignition system includes spark plugs and ignition coils. If there is a problem with the ignition system, the vehicle may exhibit slow RPM increase when the accelerator is pressed. 2. Intake system issues: If the throttle fails or there is a leak in the intake manifold, the vehicle's RPM will not increase when the accelerator is pressed. 3. Fuel delivery system issues: During normal engine operation, the fuel pump needs to build pressure. If the fuel pump cannot generate sufficient pressure, the fuel injectors will not be able to deliver enough fuel, resulting in a lack of power when the accelerator is pressed. 4. Damaged oxygen sensor: The oxygen sensor is responsible for detecting the oxygen content in the exhaust. The ECU uses data from the oxygen sensor to adjust the air-fuel ratio and other parameters such as ignition timing. If the oxygen sensor is damaged, it can cause the vehicle's RPM to fail to increase when the accelerator is pressed.
