Will Stomping on the Clutch Cause the Engine to Stall?

[CassidyLee]

Stomping on the clutch while driving will cause the vehicle to lose power and the engine to stall, but it will not shut off. Here is additional information: Engine stall: When the engine stops turning or the RPM drops to a level insufficient to maintain the next compression ignition cycle, it is called a stall. The following situations can cause excessively low RPM: Automatic transmissions and dual-clutch transmissions have torque converters and electronically controlled clutches. Since torque converters cannot transmit power in reverse, the lock-up mechanism will disengage in such cases. Therefore, theoretically, automatic transmissions will not stall unless there is an issue with the engine itself. The same applies to dual-clutch transmissions. For manual transmissions, the clutch is controlled by the pedal. If not depressed, the wheels and engine remain connected. If the wheels stop turning, the engine will also stop, resulting in a stall.
