- Clogged fuel filter: A clogged fuel filter can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, causing it to stall and fail to restart.
- Faulty ignition system: A problem with the ignition system, such as a worn-out spark plug or a faulty ignition coil, can prevent the engine from generating a spark and starting.
- Vacuum leak: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to run lean and stall, especially after running out of gas. Check for any loose or disconnected vacuum hoses.
- Compression issues: If the engine has compression coming in through the intake, it could indicate a problem with the cylinder head gasket or piston rings, which can cause loss of compression and prevent the engine from starting.
