Why does my automatic car keep stalling?
Most automatic cars have an oxygen sensor that keeps track of the oxygen levels in the air that is pushed out. Occasionally this sensor stops working properly and the vehicle is unable to determine that enough oxygen is available for combustion, so it stalls the engine.
What should you do if your car stalls?
If the engine won’t start, stay inside the vehicle, especially if your car is stuck in a traffic lane. At least inside the car, you’ll be protected. First call 911 to get police help in moving your vehicle to safety, then call for roadside assistance, AAA, or a tow truck.
Why is my car stalling so much?
There are a large number of reasons why your car might stall while driving. It could be a dead alternator, a bad coolant sensor or lack of fuel, just to name a few. If so, then it could be a major vacuum leak, clogged fuel filter or a bad fuel pump.
Why does my Subaru Impreza stall when idle?
When it did idle, it idled low and was unstable often dipping to just a couple hundred RPM. I took the advice of Zecher here and cleaned out the TB. It was a work night and I didn’t want to risk not having the car drive-able the next day so I didn’t remove the TB to clean it.
Is there a problem with my Subaru Impreza GC8?
We cleaned that and the air box out and everything is running much more smoothly now, a steady idle at 750 RPM’s. Thanks again for your response, shaz. Not a problem, cleaning anything completely spaced my mind. Glad you figured it out though. I’m having the exact same issue on my ’06 Impreza. Really rough idle and stalling while driving.
