Car Stalling Problems

If everything else seems alright w/ your car there's a chance the alternator may be on it's last leg. They get weaker w/ age and sometimes the load of the high-beams just uses so much juice that there;s not enough to run your ignition system. Also on the 86-91 fords the electrical at the light switch as well as at the alternator.connector tends to melt and cause short circuits. Either way I'd take it to a competent repair shop, one that hires ASE Certified Master Auto Technicians. IT could be something as simple as a faulty voltage regulator. I can't be more specific because I don't know what vehicle I'm working on.

Just replaced compressor on 1981 DeVille. It has 3 nuts on the bottom of the bracket in front. There is also a stud which holds the rear in place UNDER the air cleaner about 8 inches behind the compressor. You will need to remove the stud with a pair of nuts locked together. Then the compressor with brackets attached comes straight out toward the radiator. Ignition wires and other hoses and wires need to be ON TOP of the rear bracket with exception of one tube underneath. Only four fasteners need to be removed to get it off and trying to take brackets off is a waste of time. The rear bracket only goes on one way, or it will not connect to stud. Note how the bolts go through the brackets because they need to go back the same way.

This could be due to a bad Hall effect sensor. On this car it is part of the pickup coil/stator. This can be found under the distributor cap and rotor, and is the piece that the wire goes into. The pickup coil senses the magnetic field as pieces of metal are rotated through the Hall effect sensor. This device controls the fuel delivery of the car after it has started and is generally a big culprit for a stalled Dodge Aries. To replace you will need to remove the distributor cap and rotor. The pickup coil will be under those and rather simple to replace. It costs about $25-$40.

probably moisture getting into the distributor or bad plug wires. change cap and wires.

engine stalls sometimes driving

try cleaning or replacing the cylanders

sounds like you need to replace points ,or rotar button or distributor cap in engine

first thing i would check, is that the choke is turning off completely

I loved as much as you will receive caierrd out right here. The sketch is attractive, your authored material stylish. nonetheless, you command get bought an nervousness over that you wish be delivering the following. unwell unquestionably come more formerly again as exactly the same nearly very often inside case you shield this increase.

If the car is ticking but not turning over when trying to start, it sounds as if it's an electrical issue. The ticking sound is probably the starter solenoid. It sounds like there's not enough current to engage the starter. (They require quite a bit of juice.) I'd suggest checking the battery, alternator, and battery cables.

There are several reasons that made cause an automobile to lose power going up a hill. The most common reason is a lack of fuel, caused by a plugged fuel filter.

The VR2500 uses a Briggs and Stratton 4 cycle engine. No oil is mixed in the fuel.

two possibilities one your harmonic balancer might be gone and the pulleys push in on themselves then stop. Second there is a small 50 cent rubber seal at the beginning of your fuel rail if this has ripped it could swell up and cut off your gas flow. First check for damage on belts looking on the left side of the motor if not have mechanic chech fuel rail gaskets.

main fuel relay going bad. Eventually car will cut off while driving.

Check vacuum hoses against diagram located in manual or under hood.

Check ingine timing and idle speed.

the most common thing here with American cars is a tps (throttle positioning sensor) pretty cheap and easy to get to. usually located under the breather/air cleaner. or a vacuum line is disconnected. usually with a vacuum line the car wouldn't start at all without having to pump the gas pedal and continue to do so to keep it running

It could be a lot of reasons for that, are u checking ur temperature hand? it may be the alternator going bad or a wiring problem.

It depends on how wet the engine got. If it will not immediately restart and there wasn't a lot of water getting into the engine if you wait 20 - 30 minutes the engine may have dried out sufficiently to restart however if the engine was very wet then you are looking at a trip to the garage to get it dried out

I first would check the Mass Air Sensor ( the MAS) try tapping on it with a screwdriver handle - if the car dies then you need a MAS...also check the EGR valve to make certain it is not stuck open. Check the fuel pressure and also make certain to so have the car scanned to see if there are any Engine codes.

sound like a short in the headlamp switch.....I had a similar problem in my 98 chrys sebring...I took off the headlamp/turn signal switch and found a broken wire.....headlights and turn signals worked...taillights didn't...........

The fuel filter could be clogged. Or the air filter could be stopped up, or the choke could be stuck. these would be the first things to check.

yes but there should be no need to do this

No

Check to see if you are getting fuel and spark

open the hatch and look on the inside of the door jamb there should be 2 screws or 3 screws remove those and pull the light out.
