What Causes the Engine to Stall When Braking in Neutral?

[DaniellaAnn]

It is generally caused by low idle speed. Here is the relevant information: 1. P (Parking) gear, starting gear: When you park the car, the gear is in this position, and the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. The P gear should only be used when the vehicle is completely stopped; otherwise, the mechanical parts of the automatic transmission may be damaged. 2. R (Reverse) gear: Used for reversing. Unlike manual transmission cars, automatic transmission cars cannot use semi-clutch, so special attention should be paid to the control of the accelerator pedal when reversing. Usually, you need to press the safety button on the lever to move it to the "R" gear. Never force the lever into the "R" gear before the vehicle has completely stopped, as this can severely damage the transmission. 3. N (Neutral) gear: Used for temporary stops (e.g., at a red light). Note that this gear indicates neutral, and to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, you must keep the brake pedal pressed.
