Why Does the Engine Keep Stalling?
2 Answers
Engine stalling is caused by: 1. Blocked fuel supply lines in the engine; 2. Excessive carbon buildup on the spark plugs in the cylinders; 3. Use of low-quality fuel. Solutions for engine stalling include: 1. Cleaning the engine's fuel supply lines; 2. Replacing with suitable fuel; 3. Cleaning the spark plugs in the cylinders. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, categorized into: 1. Internal combustion engine: Fuel burns inside the engine; 2. External combustion engine: Fuel burns outside the engine; 3. Gas turbine: Combustion produces high-pressure gas, which drives the turbine blades to rotate; 4. Jet engine: Generates thrust directly by expelling high-speed gas from the nozzle.
As a veteran driver with nearly 20 years of experience, let me tell you there are several 'culprits' behind frequent engine stalling. The most common issue is clogged fuel lines or excessive carbon buildup in fuel injectors - without proper fuel delivery, the engine naturally shuts down. The ignition system is another headache - worn spark plugs or aging ignition coils can cause intermittent firing. Then there's that critical crankshaft position sensor wiring - just a bit of moisture can trigger false signals, making the ECU immediately cut fuel supply. Recently, I got tricked by the intake system - hadn't changed the air filter for six months, and dust had blocked an opening the size of half a fist, causing the engine to stall when accelerating. These issues all require careful troubleshooting. I recommend using an OBD scanner to read fault codes first, saving you from unnecessary repair costs.
