What happens when a car stalls out?

A stall occurs when the cycle of an engine is slowed down temporarily, or more commonly, to a complete stop. In terms of automobiles, a stall can happen with both manual and automatic transmissions. In the common case of a person releasing the clutch to quickly, a large load is applied to the engine from the crankshaft when the clutch is released. The transmission must rotate in the same direction and at relatively the same speed in order to reduce the load, thus keeping the engine running.

Car starts but unless reeving the engine a little it will stall I Can put in gear with foot on brake while reeving then let up on brake and it will stay started and run until I go to brake?

Had the same problem with my Lincoln. . . . There is a lever that you can rev the engine up from under the hood, that needs to be adjusted to keep more gas going to the vehicle. This is what I did over a year ago and it's still working fine. The downfall is that since it's giving more gas, it obviously uses a bit more now. However, I had and have no $$ to take it to a mechanic to determine the heart of the problem and, like I said, it's worked fine for me for over a year now. It cut my gas mileage down so I get 3 mpg less now.

most likely reason for any vehicle to perform under its natural ability when cold is simple. cold engine= thick oil + more friction + less horsepower. until an engine has reached its optimum temperature and oil is warm and not thick anymore, there will be alot more friction inside the engine making it harder for the car to run.
