What keeps an automatic transmission from stalling?
The reason that an automatic doesn’t stall out while “in gear” and at a stop, while a manual transmission does, is that automatic transmissions use a hydraulic torque converter to connect the engine to the transmission, while manual transmissions use a friction clutch.
Why does my truck turn off when I turn left?
If your truck has a carburetor, the float bowl fuel level may be too high or the gasket is leaking. However, if the vehicle has power steering, the left turn pressure may be the cause. Remove the power steering belt and try to duplicate the problem by making several test left turns (off highway).
Can you stall an automatic?

Why did my car turn off while turning?
If your ignition system is faulty, your engine will abruptly shut off, causing your car to shut off while driving. The ignition relay could possibly be bad, which means that the mechanism which controls the amount of electricity going through them has stopped working.
Why does my RPM drop when I turn the wheel?
When you turn the wheel, load on the PS pump can cause a drop in RPM which can also cause a drop in output on the ALT. Since the car is wanting to maintain both idle RPM and voltage, it will fluctuate and try to adjust. You can try this in just about any car in a driveway or parking lot while watching the tach move.
Why does my Toyota Camry engine start then stall?

What causes a car to stall after sitting for a long time?
If the car has sat for a while, condensation could have caused water to form inside the gas tank. Water in the gas can also result in inconsistent performance from the engine (causing sudden lurches or making it occasionally feel underpowered). Use a code scanner to identify engine error codes.
When does a car stall at low rpm?
The RPM goes to 0 and the engine shuts off. This only happens when travelling at low speeds (e.g. slowly accelerating from a stop, braking, moving in stop and go traffic) This NEVER happens when I’m travelling above 10 mph (e.g. if I’m coasting at 40 and let my foot off the gas, the RPM can go to 500 RPM but it will never stall in this case).
