Best Answer

lack of tune- up change your engine oil, air filter, spark plug wires, and spark plugs.

In addition you may have a clogged catalytic converter, partially clogged fuel filter, or weak fuel pump.

Can too much oil cause your engine to stop?

No, it will not cause the engine to stop but it will cause internal engine damage if it is overfilled to the point that the crankshaft makes contact with the oil in the oil pan. This will cause cavitation and will cause air to be mixed with the oil creating a froth. This air mixed with the oil is a poor lubricant and will cause internal engine wear to all bearing and moving parts. Drain out all excess oil immediately.
