Why Does the Car Tend to Stall When Starting?

[KeeganLee]

Frequent stalling during car startup may be due to improper coordination between the clutch and accelerator, which is common among beginners. To address this, mastering the coordination between both feet is essential. Gradually lift the clutch pedal and identify the engagement point—when the car slightly vibrates upon releasing the clutch. Once familiar with the engagement point, quickly lift the left foot to this position during startup. If not caused by driver error, the following issues might be responsible: 1. Faulty spark plugs or high-voltage wires; 2. Empty fuel tank; 3. Malfunction in the vehicle's control system, which can disable all functions; 4. Fuel line blockage, causing immediate stalling when fuel is not supplied; 5. Intake pipe blockage—check for obstructions in the intake or the pipe from the air filter to the throttle; 6. Insufficient battery voltage preventing the starter motor from operating.
