What Causes an Automatic Transmission Car to Suddenly Stall While Driving?
1 Answers
Reasons for stalling: 1. Generator failure: All electrical equipment in an automatic transmission car is powered by the battery, which in turn gets its electricity from the generator. If the generator fails, the ignition system loses power, causing the car to stall. 2. Ignition system failure: The most vulnerable parts in the ignition system are the spark plugs, followed by the ignition coils and cylinder wires. If spark plugs or ignition coils in two or more cylinders fail, the car will stall. 3. Fuel system failure: Low fuel pressure can cause the car to stall. Fuel system issues may include clogged fuel lines, fuel pump failure, or pressure pump failure. Common clog-prone areas include the fuel pump filter screen.
