What to do when your car Idles but dies?
Once it was the idle air control, the second time it was a bad wire leading to it. Check the fuel pressure at the rail (if it has a rail…) First check to make sure there are no big holes in the air tube between the mass airflow sensor and the throttle. The holes are usually on the bottom side of the tube where you cannot easily see them.
Why does my car die when I hit the gas?
…or a problem with the Idle Air Control (IAC), or… When was the last time that you replaced the air filter and the spark plugs? Air filter is newer, and the same thing happens even if i take the air filteer out. Plugs about 3 years, but this car sees less than 5000 miles a year since the plug change.
What causes a car to start and then die?
But if there is a fuel leak somewhere, then the proper amount of fuel won’t be able to make it to the combustion chamber. This might cause the engine to still start, but it won’t be able to keep it running. That is why it will die almost immediately after it starts.
Why does my car not start when I Turn on the gas?
If the fuel pump is malfunctioning, the engine will be getting less fuel than necessary, which will lead to performance issues, and ultimately cause the vehicle not to start. One of the first signs of a failing fuel pump is hesitation under acceleration.
Why does my Car start but not idle?
I would rec to check fuel pressure. Fuel injected cars are very fuel pressure sensitive. Fuel pressure is very important and must be within specifications! But if the pressure is low, it does not mean the pump is bad. A plugged fuel filter, a pinched line, and low voltage at the pump can contribute to low fuel pressure.

Why does my Chainsaw die when I give it gas?
If it was running fine, I’d let that fast idle go 30 sec or so til warmed up, then pull the throtle which kicks off the auto fast, and it should drop into a normal idle mode, ready to start cutting. But now the auto fast stage seems a little fast (maybe not).. When I give it any gas it dies almost instantly.
What causes a car to shut down when idling?
One of the first signs of a failing fuel pump is hesitation under acceleration. As the problem progresses, the car will lose power when idling, and eventually it may shut down completely. Bad fuel filter: A fuel filter strains the fuel before it reaches the engine, which protects the fuel injectors.
What happens to the engine when you give it gas?
When you give it gas does it bog down really bad or does it kill the engine? Click to expand… It just dies.
What should I do if my engine stalls when giving gas?
Start off with a simple compression test both hot and cold and hopefully that will eliminate any major issues. Then you can do a few inexpensive maintenance items such as changing all filters including the engine filter under the cowling, new plugs, check hoses and connections.
Why does my weed eater die when I Turn Off the gas?
And those primer bulbs tend to dry-rot and crack over time so make sure it’s not sucking in air when you depress it. It’s also possible that the type or mixture of fuel you are using has caused an issue. Know this: Bad gas will sometimes allow a weed eater to start but once you try to rev the throttle, it dies.
Why does my 2001 Warrior idle and die?
Hello I baught a 2001 warrior last month and it had problems with the spark..I changed my ignition coil and regulator and it went fine until I did an oil change last week.. It starts up, idles fine until I apply throttle then it revs a bit and dies.ANY HELP PLZ
What causes a carburetor to backfire at idle?
This assembly delivers an initial shot of fuel in the right amount, and duration, to provide crisp throttle response right off idle. Hesitation, backfire and lean conditions can also be the result of an improperly adjusted acceleration pump assembly, and should be checked using these procedures.
What was the problem with my Chainsaw when I gave it gas?
The problem turned out to be the fuel filter, it had come off the end of the fuel line and was just laying in the gas tank, so probably just pulling air when the saw was upright. Stuck it back on and it fired right up. Thanks again. Ray Yep as Loger advised fuel lines and filter are the 1st inspection required .
What is the diagnostic code for engine stall?
Diagnostic trouble codes P0120, P0121, P0122, P0123, and P0124 are what will commonly appear. The engine can stall for no reason and without any warning. This happens when the TPS gives incorrect information to the ECM. The engine can stall at high speed, at low speed, or even at idle.
Is the Honda man car smooth at idle?
yes smooth at idle also only when cold will acclerate just fine but when warms up still idles perfectly @ 750 rpm but if try accelerating stalls out but will accelerate if you do it very slowly in neutral but will not accelerate in gear
Can a bad throttle position sensor cause idle surging?
Idle surging can be caused due to other issues in the car, but if it happens in conjunction with other throttle position sensor symptoms, the culprit is often the TPS. At idle, the ECM will not get the correct information and the throttle will variate randomly causing idle surges. 3) Check Engine Light
