What Causes an Engine to Suddenly Stall?
1 Answers
Engine sudden stall can be caused by electrical circuit failure, component failure, or fuel system failure. Below are the specific reasons: Electrical Circuit Failure: This possibility occurs when the vehicle loses low-voltage power while driving, leading to stalling. In this case, you should primarily check the ignition and starter switches, as well as the fuse box power source. Component Failure: This issue typically involves the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The symptom is that the engine can start initially, but stalls after a while, then can restart but stalls again. Fuel System Failure: This includes a damaged fuel pump, ruptured fuel line, clogged carburetor fuel inlet, or an empty fuel tank. In such cases, the car can still be restarted, but with great difficulty.
