car starts but shut off while driving
While driving, the dashboard lights will fall and the car will stall if the vehicle goes dead. This can be caused by a lack of fuel or mechanical failure.
Whenever any vehicle stalls while driving it should be seen by a mechanic soon. It can be the a issues with the computer, ignition, or fuel.
That it's old and destroyed, needs to be fixed. The car sucks.
There are many reasons as to why a car may lose power while driving. However, the most likely cause is a bad fuel pump. This causes the car to 'think' that there is not any gas, so it begins to stall, and eventually stalls while driving.
There can be many reasons a car stalls from poor fuel feed to lack of spark. By far, the main reason is poor driving technique.
depending on what car it should cut out because the engine is being sapped of the power by the a.c and the gearbox stalls espicially up hills.
This has happened to me. I thought most likely it was the fuel pump getting ready to go out soon. So I had that replaced and it hasn't stalled out since. Knock on wood.
I would start with replacing the fuel filter.
Sometimes a car stalls when driving though water because water got sucked up into the engine. This can cause a lot of damage, so don't attempt to restart the car after it stalls. Have the car towed so the engine can be stripped down and drained of the water.
There are many things that can cause a car to stall while driving it. If the plug wires, plugs or coils are bad and are causing the engine to misfire, the engine will run rough. This may also cause the car to stall when driving. Generally, it will start back up, but it may be difficult to keep the car running. If your car stalls while you are driving it, look for an obvious reason first. Check to make sure you have fuel in the tank. Do not sit there and crank the car over, trying to get it to start, as you will quickly wear down the battery if it's not already bad.
