What Causes Stalling While Practicing Driving?
1 Answers
There are two main reasons for stalling while practicing driving: stalling at startup and stalling during driving. Stalling at startup is mainly caused by releasing the clutch too quickly. Stalling during driving is primarily due to a mismatch between speed and gear. Here are solutions to prevent stalling: Stalling at Startup: Press the clutch pedal fully and shift into first gear. Slowly release the clutch until you feel the car shaking at the semi-engaged state. Then release the handbrake, keeping your left foot steady without moving. Wait for the car to move for one or two seconds before fully releasing the clutch, then accelerate and shift gears. Stalling During Driving: Stalling during driving usually occurs when braking suddenly at a high gear. This happens because the speed does not match the gear. The correct approach is to press the clutch pedal fully before braking. Once the car is about to stop, shift to neutral and apply the handbrake. Precautions After Stalling: If the car stalls while driving, press the clutch, shift to neutral, restart the engine, and then engage the gear. If possible, pull over to the side before restarting. If the engine stalls while driving on a highway, immediately turn on the hazard lights and left turn signal, observe the left lane, and use the car's momentum to pull over for inspection or contact a 4S shop for assistance.
