Will a bad pcv cause a car to stall and not recrank?
This is possible, yes.You could also check the ignition coil, this will cause the same symptons.
Will an o2 sensor make a car stall?
I do not know the complete answer. Usually, as the oxygen sensor is failing, it will cause the car to run rich, so that your exhaust gets blacker. If it totally fails, then the computer will go into a default mode (limp mode), and without having feedback from the sensor, it will make the car run at a fixed rich setting, again making the exhaust blacker. I am also hunting for an answer since my car is stalling and the check engine indicates a faulty downstream oxygen sensor. Since it is $85, I would love not to have to replace it. yes an 02 sensor will make a car stall replaced both on my 2000 zx3 now fixed much better gas millage to
How will a hole in the exhaust affect fuel consumption and power output?
It will have a negligible effect on anything except your health. Carbon monoxide will enter the passenger compartment and could possibly cause you to either have an accident or do serious physical harm. Driving a car with a hole in the exhaust is dumb. Carbon monoxide is orderless and tasteless and you will never know it is present. Get this fixed ASAP and only drive with all windows open. The above is not entirely true. A hole in your exhaust WILL affect your car's performance. 1) The loss of 'Back Pressure' in the system will affect the effective 'Scavenging' of the exhaust fumes, because motor manufacturers spend millions of pounds/dollars 'tuning' exhaust systems to make them efficient. 2) In those cars fitted with Fuel Injection, a hole could interfere with the readings of the system's Oxygen (Lambda) sensor, thus resulting in poor fuelling, poor power etc. 3) Air entering the hole and mixing with unburned fuel in the system could cause a 'Backfire', damaging the exhaust even more. 4) It can cause damage to your cataluytic converter (if fitted)...these are EXPENSIVE to replace. Extra Extra Again the above is still not strictly true 1) Back pressure is what racers andmodders want to minimise, manufacturers do spend a lot of money but often have to compromise, this leading to not so effective systems. 2) Only if the hole is before the sensor will it affect the readings 3) Very littel air could enter a hole, again depending on where it is, if your car is backfiring, theproblem could be elsewhere, unlikely to be hte ingress of air through a hole in the exhaust 4) Again it could only damage the cat if it before the cat in the system, after the cat will not affect it at all.

squeeking from exhaust manifold is caused by a leak allowing exhaust gas to leak. it will only get worse as time goes on unless it is fixed
Can an idler pulley cause a car to stall out at a stop?
Probably not usually. For an idler pulley to put so much drag on the belt system that it stalls the engine, it would break or throw the belt altogether before the engine could actually stall.
Would bananas in the tailpipe damage a car?
no but it may cause it to stall if exhaust is blocked
Can you drill a hole in exhaust pipes?
You can drill a hole in anything as long as you have a strong enough drill bit and drill. But why would you want to drill holes in your exhaust? The exhaust piping is there to route exhaust gases away from underneath the car so they don't pool up underneath your car and seep into the cabin and cause a variety of health problems.
What would cause a Honda Civic to be loud like a souped up car?
One of the causes could be a hole in the exhaust
If the exhaust pipe is damaged can it cause the car to die and not want to start?
If it is restricted enough, the exhaust valves could burn out. Other than restriction, I wouldn't see how. Only if the pipes are pinched shut or almost completely blocked. Theres no backpressure it will stall out constantly or not start at all. (ever paint a potato black and stick it in someones exhaust pipe?) Theoretically, you can run the car with a huge gaping hole or no exhaust at all, it will sound like junk but it will run.
What happens when the exhaust on a car goes bad?
Well if you have a hole in your exhaust like rite under your car, it is able for the exhaust fumes to get into your car and kill you ;P
What happens when you put a potato in the exhaust pipe?
It will either blow out or the car will continuously stall.
