A leak in the brake booster is one common reason why a car would stall or hesitate when the brakes are pushed. There could also be an obstruction in the brake line.
Not using premium fuel caused that in my 2004 Navigator.
I had a similar problem on my 2002 Protege....would hesitate and feel like it would almost stall out... ended up needing a tune up and replacing some wires. not a major repair, cost me about $300
mine had a elec. short @ high speeds or shrp turns it would stall out. wait 5 min then it starrt again or open the hood and wiggle around the fuses in the fuse box facing the car towards the windshield on the right side
A very dirty fuel filter could do that.
This may help but it is only a suggestion. If its a manual the idling may be too low. If it controlled by computer this is an area that may need investigation.
overheating it would. Or if it was stick not being in the right gear trying to find the system causing it would help, if the air intake or filter was so clogged it couldn't suck air it could stall, and low fuel pressure could also make it stall rather slowly. Bad electrical connections could cause a quicker stall.
running out of gas? is it carburated?
just happened to me... for sure its the fuel pump, but ask ur mechanic to take a look at your idle control module and ECM to make sure its not caused by that. BUT definitely your fuel pump
If the engine runs cold you might try replacing the thermostat. I had a similar problem with a Plymouth van, at low rpms, turning corners,,, it would stall.
could be that the choke is not adjusted right
A person should be able to trouble shoot problems in a car. A vehicle would stall out after starting because of a failure in the fuel system, or it could be a bad O2 sensor.
