Reasons for the Regal 2.0 stalling automatically are as follows: Electrical circuit failure: This possibility is due to low-voltage power failure during driving, causing the engine to stall. At this time, you can mainly check the ignition and starter switches, as well as the fuse box. Electrical component failure: This issue is generally related to the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The car may start initially but stall after a while, then restart and stall again. Fuel system failure: Possible causes include a damaged fuel pump, ruptured fuel line, clogged carburetor fuel inlet, or an empty fuel tank. However, the car can still be restarted under these circumstances, though with difficulty. Sensor failure: Faults in sensors such as the throttle position sensor, air flow sensor, intake pressure sensor, crankshaft position sensor, or camshaft position sensor can also cause stalling issues.

The issue of the Buick Regal 2.0 stalling automatically is relatively common, and I've encountered several similar cases. It could be caused by a fuel system malfunction, such as an aging fuel pump failing to supply sufficient fuel, or a clogged fuel filter preventing fuel from reaching the engine. The ignition system should not be overlooked either—worn spark plugs or faulty ignition coils can lead to combustion interruption. Sensor issues, like a malfunctioning crankshaft position sensor, can send incorrect signals and cause the engine to shut down. Additionally, problems in the air system, such as excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body affecting air intake efficiency, may also trigger stalling. I recommend starting with some basic self-checks. If the car stalls when accelerating or idling unevenly, it likely points to fuel or ignition issues. However, avoid attempting repairs yourself—promptly visit a professional shop for diagnostics using specialized tools to prevent incidents on the highway. Safety is paramount, so regular oil and air filter changes are essential for prevention.

My Regal 2.0 once stalled while driving, which was terrifying on the highway. It turned out the fuel pump was broken, causing fuel supply failure. When driving normally, be careful not to always let the fuel tank run empty before refueling, as insufficient cooling of the fuel pump can easily cause it to burn out. I also frequently check the air filter; if it's dirty, it can block airflow, leading to a lean fuel mixture and stalling. If the car stalls, stay calm, avoid slamming the brakes, slowly pull over with hazard lights on, and then check. Remember, small issues left unfixed can turn into big disasters. For example, if the ignition coil is weak, replace it—saving a little money now can lead to more costly repairs later.

The main causes of the Regal 2.0 stalling are fuel pump, ignition coil, and sensor failures. A faulty fuel pump interrupts fuel supply, aging ignition coils cause unstable spark jumps, and sensors like the crankshaft position sensor can lead to control system malfunctions. Carbon buildup in the air system is also common, causing the engine to stall with a sudden jerk. Timely inspection and replacement of these critical components are essential to maintain stability.

How Many Kilometers Should a Car's Fuel Filter Be Replaced?

Generally, it is recommended to replace the fuel filter every 20,000 kilometers, but this depends on the road conditions and fuel quality. Below is a detailed introduction to the car's fuel filter: 1. The function of the fuel filter is to remove water and impurities from the gasoline. 2. When the engine is running, fuel is drawn by the fuel pump through the inlet pipe into the sediment bowl of the filter. As the volume increases and the flow rate decreases, heavier water and impurity particles settle at the bottom of the bowl, while lighter impurities flow with the fuel towards the filter element. Clean fuel then permeates through the fine pores of the filter element into its interior and flows out through the fuel pipe. 3. If the fuel filter is too dirty or clogged, the main symptoms include: slow or no response when accelerating, difficulty starting the car, and sometimes requiring 2-5 attempts to start the engine. In such cases, the fuel filter should be replaced.
