- Clogged fuel filter: A clogged fuel filter can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, causing it to stall when you try to accelerate. Check the fuel filter and replace it if necessary.
- Dirty carburetor: A dirty carburetor can also cause fuel flow problems. Remove the carburetor and clean it thoroughly with carburetor cleaner.
- Vacuum leaks: Vacuum leaks can cause the engine to run lean and stall. Check all vacuum hoses for cracks or damage and replace them if necessary.
Electrical system issues:
- Weak battery: A weak battery can cause the engine to stall when you try to accelerate. Check the battery voltage and replace it if necessary.
- Faulty spark plugs: Faulty spark plugs can cause the engine to misfire and stall. Remove the spark plugs and check for damage or wear. Replace them if necessary.
- Bad ignition coil: A bad ignition coil can also cause the engine to stall. Check the ignition coil and replace it if necessary.
Mechanical issues:
- Clogged air filter: A clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, causing it to stall. Check the air filter and replace it if necessary.
