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 are the causes of car stalling?
I just put a new battery and alternator in my car, but when i put it in gear or start slowing down to stop..the car die out. Also the brake light is continely on.
I would check your Ignition Module. That's the first place to look.

Check the alternator.
Why would your Dodge Dynasty 1990 3.3L stall at every light?
The idle control solonoid is probably dirty. Take it off of the throtle body and clean it.
How do you replace the timing belt on a 1997 Toyota Rav4?
I just finished replacing the timing belt and water pump on a 1996 Rav4. I believe this is the same as the 1997. First, let me tell you that I have worked on many cars for many years and consider myself a very capable mechanic - however, this replacement was a true challenge.
The challenge was primarily due to the close proximity of the front of the engine vs. the side of the engine compartment and wheel well. I would recommend NOT attempting replacement of the timing belt or water pump, especially, on this vehicle as a DIY project unless you have a solid understanding of automotive function and repair. You will need specialty tools that are not always found in the average home garage. Air Impact tools are highly recommended for removal of the crank bolt...
:- Remove the front right tire and remove the plastic skid plates
- Remove the accessory belts from the power steering pump and alternator and remove the alternator.
- Remove the crank bolt with standard "counter-clockwise" rotation. This step, for me, required a propane torch to heat the crank bolt, which loosened the threads from the overflowing Locktite that was visible. I then used a 1/2" air impact gun with 120psi and 300 ft lbs of torque for approximately 5 minutes before the bolt came loose.
- Remove the crank pulley. You MUST use a correct puller on this step. You will risk bending and ruining the pulley if you don't. The correct puller is a harmonic balancer or crank pulley puller which allows you to thread it to the crank pulley and use a center shaft to "press" the pulley off of the crank. Do NOT use a jaw puller on this to avoid major headaches.
- Remove the front engine mount. You will need to put a floor jack under the oil pan and GENTLY hold the engine in place. DO NOT LIFT THE MOTOR... just "hold" the motor in place. From the wheel well access, remove the lower nut from the motor mount insulator bracket and then remove the 3 bolts attaching the lower bracket from the motor. Be careful when using a standard size ratchet on these 3 bolts. They are so close to the wheel well/frame that you can actually get your ratchet stuck up against the frame and you will be in a real world of crap if that happens. A buddy of mine had to use a Dremel and cut a ratchet out of an engine compartment from a Rav4 from it getting jammed. You may have to pull the lower timing cover to get the mount out after you unbolt it...
- You will need to now now remove the upper part of the engine mount from the frame/engine compartment in order to remove the upper part of the timing cover. If you have ABS on your Rav4, good luck to you. I did and It was a real pain in the a$$. It looks simple... there is one nut and one bolt on the insulator bracket, plus 3 bolts holding it to the frame. If you have ABS, the 3rd bolt is under the ABS module. The only way to get to this bolt is to remove the ABS module... or just unbolt it and "bend" it out of the way long enough to get to the bolt. If you don't have ABS, you will see the bolt with no worries.
- Remove the timing cover - upper and lower. The lower should have been removed with the removal of the mount.
- Remove the timing belt. Make sure to mark the belt on the cam and crank pulleys to ease in replacement with the new belt. I always put the motor in TDC position, but the new belt that I bought had absolutely no markings for realignment, so had I not marked the old belt for guidance, I would have had one heck of a time getting it right on the first shot
- If you are putting in a water pump during your timing belt replacement, which is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, this is where it get's fun. I also replaced the thermostat since everything had to be drained anyway... Just put a bucket under the lower rad hose, unclamp it and pull from the radiator to drain. One of the bolts of the water pump actually has the alternator adjustment bracket attached to it. Remove this bracket, then remove the remaining water pump bolts. Before putting the new pump on, make sure you remove any gasket material from the block. I use a drill with a wire brush attachment to polish and lightly score the mounting surface. When you put the new pump on, it is a good idea to use waterpump/therm housing ATV sealant on both sides of the gasket to ensure no leaks. Can you imagine going through all this crap just to have a leak? Ugh.
- Install your new timing belt and replace all the stuff you pulled off to get to it.
Not sure about 95 saturns. However, an engine, with central fuel injection, may have an idle control solenoid or an idle control motor. A faulty idle control can cause the rpms to flucuate and may be corrected with a cleaning and lubriation or may have to be replaced at a cost of approximately $75.00 for the part. The reason I say this is because the excelerator mechanism is not in contact with the idle control when driving.
Why would a car stall when you push the gas pedal?
I would suspect a lack of fuel pressure, replace fuel filter, check fuel pump.
How do you replace an egr valve in your 95 grand am se v6?
Probably like mine. I have a 97 Grand Am SE with 3.1 V6. Its to the left of the manifold on the top round in shape. 2 bolts hold it to the throttle body. You might just try cleaning it before to see if it just has a carbon buildup. I did that and my idle problem went away.
Your car just shut off when you are driving it Can you tell you what causes that to happen?
one of too things #1 no gas week fuel pump , #2 no spark faulty ingnition coil,modual depending on the year of the car drive safe
Can you set timing without timing gun?
If you mean set ignition timing, generally not although with certain VWs you need a scan tool instead of a timing light.
For any vehicle with adjustable ignition timing, there is a correct method for setting ignition timing which may require specific operating temperature and engine speed and possible unplugging something or pressing some buttons.
If you just want to get ignition timing somewhere near reasonable on a carbureted engine with no electronic spark timing or advance, you can plug a vacuum gauge into manifold vacuum and turn the distributor until the vacuum reading is highest.
A basic timing light can cost as little as $10 or so from an auto parts store and may also be available as a loaner tool.
If you're talking about setting cam timing, a timing light is not used.
What causes an engine to stall at idle but run fine over 1000 rpm of a 1997 Hyundai Electra?
possibly the intake manifold sensor Check the fuel pump, and the injectors/ carburettor.
Why is my 1985 Chrysler stalling i lose all electrical power and then it stalls?
check your alternator
Stalling while driving may be caused by a collapsing or kinked neoprene fuel line.
How do you reset idle on 1990 Chevy lumina 3.1?
It shouldn't need reseting? Probably controlled by the PCU (Computer)
How do you fix a low idle problem on a ford explorer?
If you have a cable operated throttle body it's probably a bad idle control. Depending on your parts supplier they might call the idle control an IAC or ISC or IBP. If you replace the idle control, you should first clean the inside of the throttle body thoroughly using throttle plate cleaner and either a soft brush or a rag, then run the engine for a few minutes.
If you have an electronically controlled throttle body, suspect a damaged throttle body or a broken wire near the connector at the throttle body.
My 2001 Oldsmobile Alero ran out of gas and now it won't start Why?
First of all- the stupid question- have you put more gas in it? Secondly, I had a car run out of gas and then wouldn't start and it was because the fuel filter clogged, so no gas was making it to the engine. You may need to replace the fuel filter. Not sure if that is it or not, but the best guess I've got.
Why will Car stall when turning left or right?
This is a symptom of a few problems. Most likely is a fuel issue. What type of car and how consistent is the stall?
What does it mean when you put the car in reverse and it slides forward?
usually means your sitting on a hill..
