Dirty air filter. If your air filter is clogged or exceptionally dirty, then it will interfere with your car’s airflow and possibly cause stalling.

Why does my car idle with a new air filter?

Air filter has nothing to do with it. You could run a new air filter. An old air filter. Hell, shove a stray cat in there. It’s not going to affect how the car idles. You either knocked a hose loose that is behind the MAF (allowing unmetered air to enter the throttle) or the MAF came unplugged.

What causes a car to stall at idle?

Most problems in a car cause the cylinder not to fire as it’s supposed to be. The oxygen, fuel, and spark components of the car will not work in the right order. Misfiring will also include the engine’s loss of power, difficulty in starting the engine, rise in fuel consumption, and emission increase.

When to replace the air filter in a car?

As power is significantly reduced, your engine begins to hesitate and dies at idle. Usually, vehicle manufacturers recommend replacing the air filter every 30,000 miles (48,280.32 km). Consult your vehicle repair manual for the correct service interval for your particular application.

How does the idle air control system work?

The car computer uses the idle air control (IAC) solenoid valve to control airflow and adjust idle speed when the engine is idling. But over time, carbon buildup from PCV and EGR system operation can accumulate around a throttle bore and plug IAC solenoid passages. Or the device itself may fail.

The way diesel engines produce power is different from gasoline engines. Every time the injectors push fuel and air into the chamber, the spark plugs deliver the electrical current. This keeps the engine running. If you have a weak or poor quality spark plug, then it is possible that it will lead to car stalling.
