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.

What causes your car to shut down while driving?
A lot of possible causes, I recommend a careful investigation.
Why engine dies while driving then restarts?
Sounds like you have a problem. First, the year and engine type would help. Lets assume its around 1990, 4cly. Has the fuel filter been changed? If not, could have lots of sediment in the filter, that might cause engine to stall, then restart. Does the engine restart right away? Is the engine hot when it happens? Has the fuel pump been replaced yet? Possible cause also, Injectors might be blocked. Possible might be the ign. module on the dist. Gets hot, and then shuts down. M.A.P ( master air pressure ) comes off the EGR with a small hose to a small sensor. Also, M.A.F. ( master air flow ) not working properly. This is in the air intake around the filter. Has the air filter been checked? Does the EGR valve work properly? Might need to be cleaned. So sorry for all the information, but, you have to eliminate all the above one by one. Start with the fuel. Good luck, and you can always leave me a message on my board with the model and engine. We can follow up from there.
Why would a 1993 Buick Century V6 3300 stall on startup?
Hey Danny!!1 TAke it to the garage before you put yourself in the poor house by guessing as the battery nor alternator can cause stalling when starting.
Yes, the TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) can do that. Remove the TCC fuse and see if the problem stops. With the fuse removed the vehicle won't go into overdrive but it should not stall at a light.
What does it mean when the car stalls when it is put in reverse?
check your sensor on the right side of the firewall. it is a small round plug looing thing under your blinker fluid. if it is burned out then a nasty nig*er probably put her PU$$Y on it and ruined it
have your starter tested, the solenoid on the starter sticks sometimes
What if your 94 jeep stalls at idle and under breaking why?
you need to turn up the idle speed, or stop getting gas at the station you have been.a higher octane could help also.
Why would your car start but when you go to drive stalls out?
the fuel shortage going and the magnito stops when not enough fuel or to much air goes into the engine.
What causes cars to move and stop?
A car will move when the gas pedal is engaged. You can control the speed of the car by the pressure you put on the gas pedal. The brake pedal will either slow the car down or stop the car entirely.
it's either your cam magnet or your mass airflow sensor. i had the exact same issue
To go out about 5min. early and turn the car on and heater so that the car can be warm when you leave.
What would cause engine to idle rough and die when car slows down or stops?
It depends on what kind of car you have. Three things are needed to "make fire" in the engine: fuel, air, and spark. If any of these is interupted then it can sputter or just not run. How those three gets there depends on the car. Older, carbureted engines mixed fuel and air in the carburetor and then moved them into the piston. Fuel interuptions would happen at the carburetor. Air interuptions rarely happened, but could be because of poor settings inside the carburetor. In newer engines the air and fuel are brought in separately. A sticky fuel injector, low fuel pressure, or a computer problem can cause rough idling. How the "spark" gets into the cylinder, via spark plug, has not changed much. What triggers the spark has. In older cars it could be a mechanical distributor/rotor/points system. If there were debris in there, or even poor spacing then the engine could rough-idle. In the newer systems its all computer controlled or hybrid. It could have a weak or discharged battery. It could have a weak alternator/generator. It could have a clogged air or fuel filter. There are a lot of things it can be. A quick inspection can tell a qualified mechanic what the problem is. How he goes about determining what the problem is and how to fix it really depends on the type of Car.
It could be something as simple as a fuel filter! Try that.
Then spark plugs and wires. Air filter.
If those check out fine or you have replaced them. Check for stored trouble codes or an illuminated CEL.
It could also be a Idle Air Controller problem, if they get dirty they can stick. Also, on computerized cars, crank and cam angle sensors can go bad. Lots of things here.
How do i fix if my Engine stalls when at a stop light?
Check for a vacuum leak and check the timing . And check if all cylinders are firing correctly .
Another area to check especially if you already exhausted all the typical intake, fuel, spark issues are you starving the electrical system for power. As you come to a stop the engine has to rely on less electrical since the alternator is now not putting out to full capacity. The battery is in that loop and helps balance power. The installation of a larger sound system can require more power and there-by robbing the engine of needed voltage. (Typically the added system is connected directly to the battery)Example: 1999 Nissan Maxima with a sub woofer added to the sound system will cause the car to stall at idle if the volume range is set too high.Theres been a lots of unnecessary engine parts changed out chasing a stalling problem. The mechanic drives the car trying to simulate the problem, but doesn't think to turn the sound system up to max.

What causes my car to stall after I've been driving it for 20 minutes then sitting for 5 minutes?
Year, Make, Model, engine size please. possibly an ignition or sensor (electronic part).
Where is the map sensor on a peugeot 106 zest?
If it's anything like mine you should find it just underneath the windscreen wiper area
And if its anything like mine, pug 106 Zest XN, it doesn't have a MAP sensor. ;)
There are many causes for a service engine light. You need to have it checked for codes. Then you can diagnose from there.
How do you test a air flow meter on a peugeot 205 1.6 gti f reg bosch le-2 jetronic?
You will need to get the proper tools. This will make the process easier and ensure that you get it done right.
tourque coverter. u can usually bypass the tc by unplugin it however u will not have over drive if u do.had the same prob on a lumina..
Does sugar in your petrol damage engine?
This myth has been around almost as long as there have been automobiles. On Halloween, the older and less scrupulous trick-or-treaters go around the neighborhood putting sugar in the neighbor's gas tanks because it will destroy the engines. Or maybe an angry homeowner uses this trick to get revenge on a neighbor for the loud parties he or she likes to throw. The premise is that the sugar will caramelize and form a thick sludge that clogs your fuel lines and gunks up the carburetor. However, scientific studies have failed to produce evidence of such a reaction resulting in damage to an engine. Very little of the sugar even remains inside the engine long enough to do harm. Because sugar is particulate matter, it could conceivably cause damage to an engine the same way that sand and dirt can, but the sugar would have to be added to the gasoline repeatedly for any significant damage to occur. So you'll have to find a better method of getting revenge on the neighbor whose noisy car engine wakes you up early every Saturday morning.
Why does my jeep run when you hold the key on but stalls when you let go?
You have a bad ignition switch
