- Faulty shift solenoid: A shift solenoid is an electronic valve that controls the flow of transmission fluid, allowing gears to shift smoothly. A faulty shift solenoid can cause the transmission to not shift properly, resulting in a loss of power and the feeling that the vehicle is going to stall.
- Low transmission fluid: If the transmission fluid level is low, it can cause the transmission to overheat and not function properly, leading to a loss of power and stalling.
- Transmission filter:
If the transmission filter is clogged, it can restrict the flow of transmission fluid and cause the transmission to malfunction, resulting in a loss of power and stalling.
Air Intake Issues
- Dirty air filter: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, causing a loss of power and the feeling that the vehicle is going to stall. To resolve this issue, the air filter should be inspected and replaced if necessary.
- Leaking vacuum hose:
A leaking vacuum hose in the air intake system can cause a loss of engine power and a rough idle.
