In this case, the spark plugs should be replaced first, then check whether the fuel pressure is sufficient. If not, the fuel pump, fuel filter, and cleaning of the fuel injectors and throttle body are required. Reasons for automatic stalling: Electrical circuit failure: This possibility is that the car stalls due to low-voltage power failure while driving. At this time, you can mainly check the ignition and starter switches, as well as the fuse box. Low-voltage line short circuit causes stalling, which is intermittent in this case. Check the low-voltage lines. Component failure: This problem is generally related to the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The car can start initially, but stalls after a while, then can start again, and stalls again. Fuel system failure: Fuel pump damage, fuel pipe rupture, carburetor fuel inlet blockage, or empty fuel tank. However, in this case, the car can be restarted.

I've experienced my Excelle stalling automatically several times while driving, which was really scary. The most likely issue is with the idle control system, such as excessive debris accumulation in the idle valve blocking airflow and causing sudden engine shutdown. You can try disassembling and cleaning it with a specialized spray cleaner for the valve body and passages, but if you lack tools and experience, it's better not to tamper with it; find a reliable repair shop to handle it. The fuel system is also critical—a clogged fuel filter can lead to insufficient fuel supply, while aged spark plugs or faulty ignition coils affect ignition stability. During inspection, first tighten the battery terminals and positive/negative cable connections to prevent loosening and oxidation. If these DIY steps don't help, it might be an issue with the mass airflow sensor or crankshaft position sensor, requiring a diagnostic scan tool to read trouble codes before replacing parts. Overall, stalling is no small matter—if it happens, pull over immediately, turn on hazard lights, and prioritize safety. Additionally, remember that using high-quality fuel and regular throttle body cleaning can significantly reduce such issues.

I also experienced stalling issues with my Excelle, feeling like a sudden loss of power. Common causes include loose or corroded battery terminals leading to unstable power supply; I once fixed it by tightening the terminals myself. Secondly, if the fuel filter hasn't been replaced for too long, carbon buildup can cause blockages, leading to fuel supply interruption; replacing a new filter is low-cost and simple. Additionally, a dirty throttle body can affect idle stability—you can buy some cleaner to spray, but avoid excessive force to prevent part damage. If stalling occurs with warning lights on, it might require checking sensors like oxygen sensor failure; in this case, professional diagnosis with a scan tool is needed. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the intake tract every 10,000 km and using high-quality fuel, can reduce risks. If stalling happens while driving, stay calm, try restarting, and call for assistance if unsuccessful.

My Excelle has stalled several times, especially at red lights. Priority checks for basic components: ensure the fuel tank has gas, the battery voltage is normal, and connections are tight. The main causes are burnt contacts on the fuel pump relay or aging of the idle motor. You can replace the relay yourself, but professional help is needed for the idle motor. Take timely action to avoid accidents.
