Why Does the Car Stall After Starting?

[VanAubree]

There are several reasons why a car may stall after starting: 1. The use of low-quality fuel, leading to engine carbon buildup and stalling. 2. For new cars (automatic transmission), stalling is mainly caused by insufficient driving skills. Another possibility is issues with the car's engine or fuel system. However, for new cars, the likelihood of engine-related problems is relatively low, with most cases being fuel system issues. 3. The use of substandard fuel causing engine carbon buildup and resulting in stalling. 4. The main cause of stalling during idle is excessive dust in the air. When the engine is running, the idle speed control valve and throttle body accumulate significant deposits. Excessive deposits can lead to low idle speed, unstable idle conditions, and stalling while driving. The solution is simple: just clean the idle speed control valve. 5. Stalling during startup is often due to releasing the clutch too quickly. Press the clutch pedal fully, shift to first gear, and slowly release the clutch. When the clutch reaches the semi-engaged state and the car shakes slightly, release the handbrake. Keep your left foot steady, wait for the car to move for a second or two, then slowly release the clutch completely and accelerate to shift gears.
