* Faulty ignition switch: The ignition switch is responsible for sending power to the starter motor and other electrical components when you turn the key. If the ignition switch fails, it can cause the engine to stall while you're driving.
* Fuel pump failure: The fuel pump is responsible for delivering fuel from the gas tank to the engine. If the fuel pump fails, the engine will starve for fuel and stall.
* Clogged fuel filter: The fuel filter helps remove dirt and debris from the fuel before it enters the engine. If the fuel filter is clogged, it can restrict fuel flow and cause the engine to stall.
* Bad spark plugs or wires: Spark plugs and spark plug wires are responsible for creating the spark that ignites the air/fuel mixture in the cylinders. If the spark plugs or wires are faulty, it can cause the engine to misfire and stall.
* Vacuum leak: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to run lean, which can lead to stalling. Vacuum leaks can be caused by a variety of things, such as cracked or loose hoses, or a damaged intake manifold gasket.
* Electrical problems: Other electrical problems, such as a loose battery cable or a faulty alternator, can also cause the engine to stall.
What to Do
If your car stalls while you're driving, pull over to the side of the road in a safe location. Turn off the engine and try to restart it. If the engine won't start, you may need to call for roadside assistance.
Once you get your car to a mechanic, they will be able to diagnose the problem and repair it. Depending on the cause of the problem, the repairs may be covered under your car's warranty.
