Will the Engine Stall When Releasing the Clutch?

[SanJade]

Releasing the clutch can cause the engine to stall. There are other situations that can also lead to stalling. The reasons for stalling when releasing the clutch are as follows: Reasons for Stalling: The clutch is the intermediary device that transmits the engine's power to the wheels. Therefore, if the clutch is released too quickly or the throttle is not engaged in time, the engine's output power becomes insufficient. The reaction force from the wheels then drives the engine, causing it to stall. If the clutch is lifted too quickly, the two gears will engage immediately. Since the car is stationary, a significant amount of thrust is required. If the engine's output power is not enough to instantly bring the car to the speed required for first gear, the car will jerk suddenly and then stall. The jerking motion indicates that the engine's power has been transmitted to the wheels, but the force required to overcome resistance is greater than what the engine can output. In other words, the engine cannot push the car forward, causing the gears to lock up and the engine to stall. Other Situations: Sudden braking, insufficient throttle during startup, starting on an uphill slope, or starting without releasing the handbrake can also cause stalling.
