What measures should be taken if the engine suddenly stalls while driving?

Immediately turn on the hazard warning lights, move the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic, and place a warning sign for the faulty vehicle. Below are five reasons for sudden stalling while driving: 1. Electrical circuit failure: This may occur due to a low-voltage power cut during driving, causing the engine to stall. In this case, focus on checking the ignition and starter switches, as well as the fuse box power source. 2. Low-voltage circuit short circuit causing stalling: In this situation, the stalling is intermittent. Check your low-voltage circuit. 3. Component failure: This issue is usually related to the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The vehicle may start initially, then stall, and then start again, repeating the cycle. 4. Fuel system failure: Possible causes include a damaged fuel pump, ruptured fuel line, clogged carburetor fuel inlet, or an empty fuel tank. However, the vehicle can usually be restarted in such cases. 5. Ignition system: Engine overheating or issues with the anti-knock system can also cause stalling.
