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.

Why would a 1993 Chevy Silverado stop running while driving acting as if there is no fuel and there is fuel?

I have a 1990 IROCZ. When the car hit the 100,000 mile mark about a year ago, I had the same problem. The car might die while cruising or it might die at a red light. This went on intermittently for about 6 weeks. During this time, I ran fuel induction & injection chemicals through the fuel rails. I changed out the fuel filters. No change. So, I changed out the fuel pump and it fixed the problem. Good luck :-) By the way, you'll have a whole lot less trouble doing this on your truck. This is a common problem with that year, Need to replace the ingnition Module.

It is in the distributor. And the above answer is a good answer.

Need to hook fuel pressure gauge up and drive it and watch gauge till it dies again. When it dies if it's got 9 to 13 LBS. of pressure then it's not the pump.

What if you put sugar in the gas tank?

Sugar in the gas tank will not cause the engine to fail because sugar does not dissolve in gas. It will get pulled thru the gas line and into the fuel filter(s) and depending on how much sugar is in the tank, will plug the fuel filter sooner or later. This will cause the car to stall or not stay running. You can either replace the fuel filters until the sugar is gone or get the car to a mechanic and have the gas tank removed and flushed out. This is not a do-it-yourself project. You could also drive the car to the mechanic and then have the fuel filter replaced while they are flushing the gas tank.

What may have happened if you ran your car too long with no oil and it cut off while driving and wont start at all?

The list is endless. The rings have scored into the cylinder walls so bad you have no compression is the most likely if the starter turns the engine but it won't start.

But while you were at it, every bearing from the main bearings on the crankshaft to the ends of the push rods have been damaged to one degree or another. If the engine ever starts again, run it as is, don't waste a single dollar on it when it stops running as it will never be worth it no mater how much you replace.

What causes 99 durango to shut off while driving?

Why would a 1997 Olds Aurora stall out in idle?

We had the same problem with our '98 Aurora. Had It to several repair shops and to 2 G.M. dealers. We were chasing the wind. Changed all sorts of expensive parts not to mention a complete tune up. Would have gotten rid of the car but I didn't want to stick anyone. I decided to change the EGR valve because it had solved mystery problems on other cars. It worked like a charm. I had to take it off 6 months later and clean it as the problem returned. All is well now. The part is expensive about $250.00 but it can be put in in minutes

Same problem with my '98 Aurora. It had a blown intake manifold gasket making it run lean and die at idle. The gasket was expensive to replace (as all Aurora parts are) so I had them glue it instead. Worked like a charm and saved me 400 bucks.

Why would my 1995 Pontiac Transport continue to stall out while driving despite my having had egr valve replaced and a tune up done?

It could be a dirty throttle body. With the age of the vehicle & the fact that that PCV valve draws its venting vacuum thru here you may need to pull the air intake hose, remove the snap ring holding in the screen, then CAREFULLY the screen. Go to a good parts store & buy some throttle body cleaner & a plastic toothbrush. Hold the throttle open (ENGINE NOT RUNNING) spray the throttle plate & bore thengently clean with plastic brush until all carbonived oily reside is gone. Next you could have a bad idle air control valve if it dies while at idle speed I'm assuming that you,ve checked for vacuum leaks. If it happens only when warm while driving or sitting still, then takes a few minutes b4 it restarts it could be a bad ignition module. Hope this helps.

What causes a car to stall when turning left?

When your car stalls by turning left or right, usually a loose or a glazed belt is suspected. Reason being is that the pump is being put under a load by the power steering piston. Making belt slip because it needs more torque to spin pulley. Also draws more current, so check idle speed and spark plugs.

What causes a car to stall when you put it in park or turn the wheel sharply and is now starting to hesitate when pressing the gas pedel?

Engines run on a gas/air mixture. A computer controls the gas/air mixture. The computer acts on information it gets from all kinds of sensors. Placing a transmission in gear changes a condition that increases the load on an engine and the gas/air mixture needs to change also. Shifting into park will decrease the load on the engine and a sensor must tell the computer of the shift, thereby changing the gas/air mixture. The engine may stall if the mixture is too rich. Much like the old time engines that flood the carburetor if you pull out the choke causing the engine to stall. When the steering wheel is turned sharply, once again it sharply changes the engine load and the gas/air mixture may not be changing fast enough to compensate for the load change, thereby stalling the engine. However, your problem could only be the gas supply. When you press the gas pedal the computer sends a signal to the injecter(s) to increase the gas in the mixture and if the gas supply is restricted [a clogging filter], the engine should hesitate. Try the filter first.
