- Battery - A weak or faulty battery can cause a car to die while driving and may take time to recharge enough to start again.
- Starter - A faulty starter can prevent the engine from cranking and starting.
- Alternator - A faulty alternator can prevent the battery from charging while driving, leading to a dead battery and stalling.
Fuel System Issues
- Fuel Pump - A faulty fuel pump can prevent fuel from reaching the engine, causing it to stall.
- Fuel Filter - A clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow and cause the engine to stall.
- Fuel Injectors - Faulty fuel injectors can prevent fuel from being properly injected into the engine, causing it to stall.
Ignition System Issues
- Spark Plugs - Faulty or worn-out spark plugs can prevent the engine from generating a spark, leading to stalling.
- Ignition Coil - A faulty ignition coil can prevent the spark plugs from receiving the necessary voltage, leading to stalling.
- Distributor - Vehicles with distributor-based ignition systems may experience stalling if the distributor is faulty.
Engine Issues
- Engine Cooling - Overheating can cause the engine to seize and stall.
- Air Intake - A clogged air filter or other issues with the air intake can restrict airflow and cause stalling.
