Why does a car stall and hunt for idle in cold weather?
A car may stall and hunt for idle in cold weather due to several factors, including dense air affecting the air-fuel mixture and the engine's inability to maintain the correct idle speed. Cold temperatures can also cause thicker engine oil, leading to increased friction and resistance. Additionally, issues with the idle air control valve or vacuum leaks can exacerbate the problem, making it harder for the engine to stabilize at idle. Proper warm-up and maintenance can help alleviate these issues.
What can cause the car to stall when running the ac?
An engine usually has a higher idle speed when the ac is running. If the high speed idle does not operate then the ac will cause the engine to stall.
What does a bad IAC cause?
the engine to stall and surge at idle
Why is your 1987 Chevy Celebrity stall when is come to a stop?
This sounds like an idle problem. Does the service engine light come on before the engine stalls? If it does it should post a code. Knowing what that code is could lead to a more accurate assessment of the problem. Does the engine idle ok before you put the car in gear? Does the engine restart and idle ok after the stall? There are multiple possible causes for the stall. The IAC, idle air controller, could simply be dirty and not delivering enough air for the engine to run. If the MAF, mass air flow sensor, if faulty or dirty that might cause the engine to stall. If the Oxygen sensor is faulty that could cause a stall and generally poor running as well. It may be possible that if the TPS, throttle position sensor, is faulty that could cause the engine to stall at idle speed. If you have found out what the problem is I would be interested to know for future reference.
What causes engine to stall when trying to accelerate from idle?
If your engine is stalling when you push the gas from an idle or sitting still it can be several different things. The first thing I would check is the fuel filter. I would have it replaced. If that isnt the problem change your air filter.
What causes your car to stall while turning?
If the car is starving for fuel or air (low power at idle), the car will stall while turning.
Why would your jeep stall in idle?
Usually, a jeep's engine stalls in idle mode because of a battery power fault or because there is no gas. However, it is common for any car to stall when it has not been running for a period of time and the engine is cold.
What causes an engine to stall at idle but run fine over 1000 rpm of a 1997 Hyundai Electra?
possibly the intake manifold sensor Check the fuel pump, and the injectors/ carburettor.
Could over revving be caused by faulty idle air control valve?
No! it only controls the air/fuel mixture at idle - it is by-passed when the engine revs-up. Generally, when there is a problem with the air control valve it causes the idle to become erratic and 'hunt' and maybe the engine keeps stalling.
What causes idle surge on a 1996 Buick Regal 3.8 - just had the TPS replaced due to an engine stall problem could that be related?
i dont know mine does only at idle and i think i have a weak coil for 2 and 5 on my 95. or your idle air control vacuum motor
What causes low idle in the engine on a 2002 kia sportage?
low idle and uneven idle
Why does an engine stall when the airconditioning is on?
An engine may stall when the air conditioning is on due to increased load on the engine. The AC system draws power from the engine to operate the compressor, which can reduce engine performance, especially if the engine is already struggling or if there are issues with fuel supply, ignition, or idle speed. If the engine's idle speed is too low or if it cannot compensate for the extra load, it may stall. Regular maintenance of the engine and AC system can help prevent this issue.
