What is the reason for the car not stalling but not moving when accelerating?
2 Answers
The reasons for the car not stalling but not moving when accelerating are as follows: Intake system issues: The air filter is the most frequently cleaned and replaced among the three filters. If the air filter is clogged or the throttle system is blocked, the intake volume will decrease, combustion will be insufficient, power will drop, and the car won't move even when the accelerator is pressed hard. Ignition system issues: If the car doesn't move when accelerating and emits black smoke, it is likely that there is a problem with the ignition system. Carbon buildup on the spark plugs of the ignition system can lead to poor ignition, resulting in decreased power and persistently high fuel consumption. To keep the car running smoothly, regular replacement of spark plugs is very important.
I've also encountered a similar situation where the car's engine was running but pressing the accelerator didn't make it move forward, which was quite worrying. Common issues with automatic transmissions include gearbox failures, such as problems with the torque converter or clogged solenoid valves, which prevent power transmission. For manual transmissions, the main causes are worn or slipping clutch plates or damaged pressure plates, and not fully depressing the clutch pedal can also cause stalling. Other factors include not being in the correct gear, such as accidentally leaving it in neutral, or fuel system issues like a failing fuel pump leading to insufficient fuel supply. It's advisable to first check if the gear is correctly set and listen for any unusual noises from the engine. For safety, avoid forcing the car to drive to prevent hazards and visit a repair shop as soon as possible for a diagnostic check with professional equipment. Delaying repairs could damage more critical components, leading to higher costs in the long run. Regular maintenance can prevent such faults, with checks on transmission fluid and the clutch system recommended every six months.
