this means there is something going on with the engine. take it to a auto parts store and they will scan for the codes, for free. to tell you which curcuit its in. its a possibility that its a bad tps, or throttle cable, etc. God bless!
Why does your car stall when you depress the clutch when stopping?
If your car runs fine cruising, then coming to a stop (perhaps at an off-ramp) you press the clutch, let off the gas, and the car stalls, then most likely, you have a vacuum leak from your intake manifold or low fuel pressure. This is dependent on the vehicle, of course. More information would have been more helpful in answering the question.
Why does my car stall after ignition turned over?
Cars fequently stall, especially if they are a clutch. If your car is not a clutch, iIwould have a mechanic look at it. It could be a spark plug issue, and you don't want to mess around with that.
Your electric fans have stopped working. Turn on you A/C with the hood open. If no fan is running either the fan is bad (most likely) or the relay is bad (not as likely). Y-THINK-Y
Many cars may stall because the idle air control valve has failed or is failing. Carbon build up is one of the common culprits. A dealer can correct this problem by replacing the valve and cleaning the carbon out of the engine using chemicals. I just got my 1998 Crown Victoria back from the Ford dealer, and it runs great. It was worth the $496+ dollars.
there are alot of reasons a car may stall from something as simple as a dirty air filter, or sensor to an injector pump, or electrical fault. if the check engine light is on most auto parts store will check it for free, otherwise go to a mechanic.
What would cause engine to turn over and not fire or cut out while driving?
First thing to check is the fuel pump relay. IT could also be that big air clearner hose. If that is broken or cracked anywhere these it will cause over fuelling.
What will cause a car to suddenly stop running while driving?
Out of Oil
Out of Water
Out of Gas
Dead Alternator
There are so many reasons, you really should provide more info. First, what kind of car is it? Is it overheating? Because it could be the vehicles computer stradegy shutting down the engine to protect it. Does the car feel like it's running out of gas? The fuel pump could be failing when it gets hot. Does the car suddenly cut off, like someone turned the key off? It could be the ignition system failing when hot.
My 99 pontiac grand am will start and run when cold but will not stay idling when hot and stalls?
I had the same symptoms with my 97 GTP 150,000 miles - it would start and than stall immediately in hot weather. It would sometimes start and run OK in cooler weather and than stop after driving when it got hot. Sometimes the car would run OK again after being allowed to cool off for 30 minutes. The problem got worse until I could not drive the car.
After much parts changing and $$$ spent I discovered that the fuel pump electrical circuit has an .8 ohm power resistor that was going open intermittently at high temperature. I replaced the resistor with GM PN 88951182 ($40) and it fixed the problem.
You can diagnose this problem yourself when the car won't run by disconnecting the resistor (it is in the right front wheel well) and jumping the mating connector with a paper clip. If the car runs with the jumper installed you will know that the resistor is the problem. However, the resistor and connector is hard to access so you may want to just
go ahead and have it replaced now rather than wait for it to fail again so that a positive diagnosis can be confirmed.
Good luck - !
It sounds like you have a bad shifter cable. I had the same thing happing and i had it replaced and no proble since then. GOODLUCK
Your 1997 Pathfinder starts easily but when you accelerate it stalls?
It could have something to do with your oxygen/air flow sensor
Your car stalls out when you put it in reverse or drive is it the transmission?
yes, get it rebuilt and buy new mufflers. you may want get a new intake, and probably up the gear ratio. maybe something around 4.10 should do it. your welcome. ps - port and polish your heads just in case. better safe than sorry.
Camshaft Position Sensor A - Bank 1 Circuit Malfunction Trouble code P0340 means: Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1 or single sensor)
Why does your 2002 Saturn sl 1 idle rough like its going to stall when stoped at a light?
It could be plugs, wires, burned valve, stuck injector, vacuum leak or who knows what else. It will take a little more troubleshooting to find the exact problem. I had a friedn have the same problem with her Eagle Talon, but her car actually stalled. She needed an alternator. Another possible solution could be to replace your Gas cap. If it is not properly ventilating, there may be a vacuum in the tank.
They stretch slightly to absorb the kinetic energy on the cars occupants in an accident and prevents them from shooting forwards through the windscreen.

Do you put fuel treatment after fuel up or before fuel up?
Does not matter as it will mix with the fuel either way you do it.
Your car will start then after a few miles it dies then wont start for another couple hours?
I had a car that did that and in its case it was the ignition module. It would work fine when cold but fail when it got hot. It hasn't stalled since I put on the new ignition module.
What is the life expectancy of a transmission in a 2000 Mercury Cougar?
It all really depends on usage and type of transmission. Automatics, when not driven hard I have seen usually last till 150k, manual transmission well into the 200k+ range. That being said, since Ford made the differential gears from sintered steel, they are like glass and you can break one on a hard launch with any transmission of any age.
What causes engine to cut off when you release the gas?
Most of the time ,it's because engine is catching air .check for a hissing noise. a soapy solution in a spray bottle .while engine is running will find where the leak is .engine sound will change when you find the spot .
Why would a 1996 dodge caravan stall out with no warning?
Alternater could be bad. You could be out of gas. One of your fuses might be blown. Here's a question to ask yourself,"Do you punch on the gas often?" That could be another thing. It could be for alot of reasons, but you need to find out more and ask a more detailed question.
What to do when you have bad gas in tank of a 1987 Oldsmobile Delta 88?
It depends on how much gas and what you mean by bad. If you have very little fuel in the tank and you mean it is just old gas, then pour in a can of Seafoam or Techron fuel treatment. If you think there is water in the tank and the tank is less than 1/4 full, then pour in a can of a product called Heat. Now fill the tank with at least 5 gallons of fresh gasoline and start the car. Now if the car has over 1/4 tank of bad fuel, then you need to drain the tank. Since few vehicles have a drain fitting on the fuel tank, you'll probably have to siphon the fuel out. Don't even think about sucking on a garden hose to do the job. Gasoline can cause cancer. And if you inhale a mouthful into your lungs, it can easily kill you. Purchase an inexpensive hand pump and pump as much as possible out. At this point you can remove the tank and fully drain it or pour in the fuel treatment and Heat and then some fresh fuel. Depends on how contaminated you think the fuel is. If you decide to remove the tank, keep in mind that fuel hoses can have residual pressure, as well as fuel that can spill out when it is removed. Eliminate pressure by cracking a fuel line loose near the engine or depressing the Schraeder valve on the fuel rail.
Assuming that you have checked PCM codes and have gotten a response from PCM that no codes are present:
You might have a clogged catalytic converter. Try unscrewing the upstream oxygen sensors (completely) and driving the truck. This will set codes and turn on the check engine light but if it runs better this way it means the exhaust is restricted. Repair the restriction (usually by replacing cats) as soon as possible to minimize damage to the transmission.
