Why does the car stall when in neutral?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why a car may stall when in neutral: 1. Low idle speed: This is usually caused by an idle speed that is too low, so it's important to check the idle speed and adjust it if necessary. 2. Throttle body: If the issue isn't related to idle speed, it could be due to excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body, idle air control valve, intake valves, intake manifold, combustion chamber, spark plugs, or fuel injectors. 3. Fuel injector: It's also important to check if the fuel injector is leaking, which can cause it to continue supplying fuel even after the throttle is closed. This leads to an overly rich air-fuel mixture at low speeds, resulting in unstable idle and, in severe cases, stalling.
