Why does the car suddenly lose power?
1 Answers
There are two main reasons for a sudden loss of power in a car: fuel supply system failure and intake system failure. If you notice a lack of power, you should perform an engine fault diagnosis and check for any trouble codes. If present, follow the trouble code instructions for repairs. Below is a detailed analysis of the potential causes: Fuel Supply System Failure: Insufficient fuel entering the combustion chamber can lead to power loss. Possible causes include clogged fuel injectors, fuel line leaks, a blocked fuel filter, or an aging fuel pump. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for a fuel system inspection. If issues with the injectors, fuel lines, or fuel pump are found, address them promptly. Intake System Failure: For the engine to operate properly, it requires both fuel and air. Without sufficient air, the engine cannot run smoothly. Causes of power loss include a dirty or clogged air filter or throttle system, malfunctioning intake temperature or pressure sensors, or a faulty air flow meter. Solution: Inspect the air filter and throttle system. If blockages are found, clean them immediately.
