What is Car Stall?

[LeAlyssa]

Car stall refers to the phenomenon where the output speed of the torque converter is zero while the engine is running, meaning the pump wheel rotates while the turbine remains stationary. The causes of car stall include: 1. Throttle cable stuck; 2. Throttle motor jammed; 3. Poor contact of the throttle sensor; 4. Open circuit; 5. Overheating of the engine; 6. Lack of gasoline, engine oil, or coolant. The methods to handle car stall are: 1. Control the direction based on road conditions and speed, shift out of high gear into low gear, and use the handbrake and engine drag to quickly reduce speed; 2. If the vehicle's own mechanisms cannot control the speed, the driver should decisively use rigid parts such as the bumper or body to approach the roadside wall, increasing resistance through friction to achieve forced stopping; 3. When brake failure occurs while going uphill, downshift to medium or low gear in time to maintain sufficient power to reach the top of the slope and stop.
