What Causes a Car to Stall while Driving

1
WHAT CAUSES A CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING?
2
An internal combustion engine needs air and fuel
in the ratio of 141 to run efficiently.
3
Besides, timing of fuel injection as well as
spark generation also affects the power output of
the engine.
4
Any kinds of major mechanical malfunctions in the
ignition system or fuel injection system might
cause an engine to stall in the middle of nowhere.
5
So, the condition of the engine as well as other
components associated with it needs to be
inspected regularly.
6
Signs which show that the fuel injection system
is not working efficiently or ignition system has
problems should not be neglected.
7
Timely action should be taken to fix the problems
in time to keep the car in working order.

CAUSES OF ENGINE STALLING
9
EMPTY FUEL TANK
An engine needs continuous fuel supply to run
smoothly.
10
However, disruption of fuel supply might bring
down the engine to a halt in the middle of
nowhere.
11
FAULTY FUEL PUMP
Faulty fuel pump or sludge build up in the fuel
line might disrupt the fuel supply to the engine.
12
Availability of inadequate amount of fuel in the
combustion chamber might be responsible for
engine stalling.
13
Besides, a clogged fuel filter might also block
the flow of fuel. So, it is highly recommended to
keep the fuel line and filter clean.
14
DEAD CAR BATTERY
A car battery supplies the required amount of
electrical energy to the spark plug and other
components of the ignition system to keep the
engine running.
15
However, a dead car battery or faults in the
electrical system might disrupt the power supply
to the ignition system of the car which could
bring down the car to a halt.
16
So, such problems should be repaired immediately.
17
CLOGGED AIR FILTER
As mentioned earlier, one liter of fuel needs
about fourteen liters of oxygen to burn
completely.
18
However, a clogged fuel filter might adversely
affect the quantity of oxygen supply to the
combustion chamber which might be responsible for
the engine stalling.
19
So, efforts should be made to keep the air filter
clean or replace it altogether.
20
BOTTOM LINE
21
A car needs routine maintenance to run smoothly
without any problems.
22
However, malfunctions in certain vital components
might cause a car to stall while driving.
23
Faults or defects responsible for such kinds of
malfunctions should be repaired immediately.
