Why does a car stall?
1 Answers
Reasons why a car stalls: It could be due to driver error or a vehicle malfunction. If the car suddenly stalls while driving, try to stabilize the vehicle as much as possible without steering, apply light braking if necessary, until the car comes to a complete stop. Automatic transmission models are less likely to stall easily, whereas manual transmission models may stall frequently due to insufficient driving skills. For new cars (automatic transmission), stalling is mainly caused by lack of driving proficiency. Another possibility is issues with the car's engine or fuel system, but for new cars, engine-related problems are less likely—most cases are due to fuel system issues.
