What causes car to stall when it gets hot?

A car engine is made with many moving parts that fit together very precisely. When these parts get hot, they expand, but they do not all expand to exactly the same degree. So parts which fit in a certain temperature range, will cease to fit in a higher temperature range. That is why the car will stall if it gets too hot. If the radiator is working correctly, the engine will never get too hot.

How come engine stalls in low gear when going uphill?

Your engine produces torque(turning power) and revs, and these are related. You can't get more than a certain amount of torque out of the engine at a given number of revs. If you hit a slope in the wrong gear/at the wrong speed, then forcing the car forward will require more torque than the engine can deliver, and it will stall. It's very much like trying to ride a bike uphill in the wrong gear.

Why does your car stall when it warms up?

Most of the time it is an electrical component that fails when it gets hot.

What causes a car to stall when put in gear?

Try changing the fuel filter. I have a 1984 Mustang with 3.8L V6. On some older cars you tend to accumulate a lot of crud in bottom on fuel tank. And when you get to about 1/4 tank some of it comes up. I changed 2 filters in less than 6 weeks and have not had the problem again. Take a look at the motor mounts. I had a car that would stall when put in drive and while looking at it, when i shifted into gear the motor would tilt forward or back, some wires were being pinched off shorting out and causing the engine to stall when put into drive. If it shakes violently when it dies it is most likey your transmission. It happened to my Dodge.

Why would your Mitsubishi magna start to stop then bunny hop when you apply the accelerator.?

I don't know why exactly, but I have had this problem. I have noticed it seems to happen more in hot weather and on long trips (might just be a coincidence). I think that the problem is related to the fuel pump. From what I understand, if the fuel pump stutters while driving the whole car will jump about. The problem with the pump could be traced back to an electrical fault. That's all that I can figure out.
