What to Do When the Engine Suddenly Stalls While Driving?
1 Answers
The methods to handle a sudden engine stall while driving are: 1. Stay calm, promptly turn on the hazard warning lights to alert other vehicles, maintain control of the steering wheel, and try to stabilize the car; 2. Pull over appropriately. After the engine stalls, the hydraulic pump for the brakes will also stop working, and the brakes may become unresponsive after one press. Use the gears to decelerate and apply the brakes. After stopping, observe the surroundings before opening the door and place a warning sign as required; 3. Inspect the car's engine to check if the engine belt is loose or broken. After confirming that the stall was not caused by the belt, check for any abnormal noises inside the engine; 4. Check the radiator. If the radiator's water temperature is too high or there is no water during driving, poor heat dissipation may occur. When inspecting the car's radiator, be careful not to open it hastily, as doing so when the radiator is too hot may cause burns.
