What happens if your car stalls in traffic?
A car that stalls while you’re driving is a dangerous situation no matter where it happens. If you’re in traffic; even slow traffic, and your car stalls you might get rear-ended. If it stalls on the highway, you could be involved in a very serious accident.
Why is my car stalling at high speeds?
You take your foot off the gas pedal to apply the brake, but your engine begins to idle very roughly, and then it stalls. Yet, when you restart the engine and run the car at higher speeds, it seems to run fine, or at least more smoothly. Here’s what could be wrong: If you have a carburetor, you may have a bad accelerator pump or power circuit.
Why are thrust reversers not used to slow down?
A minimum max reverse power speed is often an airplane operating limitation. It’s mostly related to FOD (mostly sand grains and small gravel) and on some designs there may be compressor stall issues due to flow disruptions. On the CRJ 700 max reverse is limited to 75kt although you can use up to 60% N1 down to zero speed.
What do you do when your car is stalling?
The Fix: Clean or replace fuel injectors. Even after the engine has run long enough to become warm, the idle speed does not come down to normal but continues to idle at a fast pace. You really notice it when you come to a stop, after which you have to push hard on the brake pedal to keep the car from moving.
Why does my car stall at highway speeds?
The engine may start and idle fine, but run out of power or even stall at highway speeds. If the engine starts right back up after stalling, the likely cause is low fuel volume delivery because of a weak pump. If the engine is running normally one minute, but suddenly quits, loss of ignition may be the problem.
What happens when you reduce the speed of traffic?
Reducing the speed to 30 mph cuts the odds of death in half; reducing speed to 20 mph drops the fatality rate by an astounding 94%. Even more dramatically, at 5 mph cars (and very cautious trucks), bikes, and pedestrians can all safely share the same street space.

What causes random stalling when coming to a stop?
Usually happens randomly when slowing down (when the rmp drop below 1000). Hope this helps. I’m going to try out a few things from all the replies. Going to start with fixing the EGR value. 168 people found this helpful.
