Car Stalling Problems
When your car’s engine stops when it’s in idle or is accelerating, then your car has stalled. Almost all stalling problems stem from poor fuel-gas mixture, out-of-tune fuel injection or fuel contaminants.

Low revs causes car to cut out?
You may need to adjust the throtle or idle of the car. In older cars this is as simple as tightening a cable. So when the car is just idling it will naturally rev higher and not stall.
This happened to me i checked for codes using self test-i can't remember what number the code was but it was for the crank sensor-it's located in the distributor. Buy the chilton repair manual it explains how to check for codes and has the list. Very cheap in pep boys or autozone, etc.

What do you do when your car stall in the middle of the roadway?
pray to god you don't get hit

Why would a 1995 Escort stall at low rpms after you turn on the Air Conditioning?
it may be, because when the ac comes on , the ac compresor clutch engages and takes power away from the engine. is your ignition timing properly adjusted?
What would cause a 2001 dodge neon while driving loose all power than come right back on?
Loose wire? I recommend asking this question specifying if you have manual or automagic transmission.
An engine that vibrates at 3000 RPM has an issue with balance. The harmonic balancer or the crankshaft can become out of alignment.
What are the purposes of performing no load test for the transformer?
equivalent circuit of transformer(ii)
voltage regulation of transformer(iii) efficiency of transformer. The power required for these
Open Circuit test and Short Circuit test on transformeris equal to the power loss occurring in the transformer.
I think I'd start looking for vaccum leaks. New cars are much more reliant on strong vaccum than old clunkers. When you punch the brake pedal, the vaccum powered brake booster can steal needed vaccum from other systems in the car (i.e. fuel delivery or vaccum advance type ignition). In some old caddilacs a small vaccum leak can cause the flapper valves in the climate control system to go all nutty.
With the engine running, spray a mist of lps1 on suspect vaccum lines. Where there is a vaccum leak the liquid will dry rapidly off of the hose. Alternately you can flex some hoses around and listen for sucking sounds when you move them. Replace all leaky or cracked hoses.
Why does your zafira keep stalling when the revs go to idle speed?
If it's a 1.8 with a paper element oil filter....
There is a small hole in the throttle body that get blocked up with carbon deposits. This can cause stalling problems.
There is a small pipe going to the side of the throttle body (about 10 mm in Diameter) remove this pipe and use a carburettor cleaner to unblock the hole.
There is a factory re-work to address this problem, but it's too complicated to spell out here.
A less likely cause it that the throttle body is it self faulty, and needs replacing.

Check to see if the fuel filter is plugged up. It is located under the body of the car, either under the drivers or passengers door(passengers, I think). It is covered by a protective metal cover. The system will probably be charged when you take the filter off, so watch for spraying fuel. I forget if it takes a special tool to take the filter off. Check at your autoparts store. I last changed mine about 3 years ago. Probably need to do it again.
AnswerAnothercause..... is a cracked or leaking nylon type hose, ("about four inches long!") going from the "EGR"valve ("Exhaust-Gas recirculating valve") to the Exhaust system, all as to be found located at the very top rear of the engine, and almost impossible to actually physically view, without removing other polution control items to allow access to this short hose. ....."Mechanic."
check and clean your mass air flow meter!!!
also cheeck to see if the catlatyc converters are clogged. mine did the same and that was my cause..
It was a coil pack.
What would cause a 1997 Chevrolet Van to idle but dies when accelerating?
Plugged air filter? Plugged fuel filter? Bad catalytic converter? Worn timing chain? Check the 8th digit of the vehicle identification number and see if it is a "W". If so the fuel injectors require 65 pounds of pressure to operate. If it is not a "W' then it requires 15 pounds. In other words check the fuel pressure.
Your car stalls out in gear after driving a while?
This has happened to me. I thought most likely it was the fuel pump getting ready to go out soon. So I had that replaced and it hasn't stalled out since. Knock on wood.
Can the carburetor be a cause of engine stalling?
Yes it could if you in fact have a carburetor. Carburetors were fazed out during the 1980's.
Check your ignition coil. Had the exact same problem. When it was cold, ran great. As soon as it warmed up would die just like someone turned off the key.
Why does your truck idle goes up and down when you press down on the brakes?
Your brake master cylinder uses a vacuum assisted module to increase the hydraulic force on the brakes while reducing the amount of effort the driver has to put on the pedal.
When you press down on the brakes, it employs this vacuum-powered diaphragm which "borrows" vacuum from the intake manifold. This initially causes a drop in manifold vacuum and thus you see this with a slight drop in idle speed.
It's more pronounced on bigger engines, and prior to computer controls and fuel injection it was actually QUITE pronounced. Smaller engines with fuel injection and computer control do not see this byproduct as much.
Your 1991 Mitsubishi Mirage GS stalls when starting up why?
I have a 94 mirage, same problem. After changing several parts... seems the problem is the fuel pump relay. This relay is also called the ignition relay. Available only at NAPA. $76. Its metal, 8 pin, 2" x 2" maybe behind the radio. The check is: hear if the fuel pump will turn on for the second before starting.
Why does the engine cut off when slowing down?
If your car is cutting off at when u stop change your plugs and plug wires out. If this doesn't stop the problem change out the mass airflow sinsor. thanks and good luck!
AnswerWhat is less expensive changing a bunch of parts (and possiblily installing a defective part) or taking it to an independent garage and have them troubleshoot it and replace the right part?
AnswerMy car kept stalling out in traffic and when I called AAA they came and Checked and told me the O2 sensor holder had broken so the sensor was hanging loose; they attached it with a twist tie! Worked like a charm ever since and the twist tie is still there!
MY CAR HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IF YOUR PROBLEM STILL EXIST AFTER YOU TRIED EVERYTHING IT COULD BE YOUR TPS (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR)
Look for a possible vacuum leak or MAP sensor fault. Restricted exhaust may also be worth investigating.
My car was sputtering and then stalled and won't start again?
depend serveral things , you have to tell more of the problem
