1. Fuel Filter Clogging: A clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow to the engine, causing it to shut down when demanding more fuel during acceleration.
2. Fuel Pump Failure: A faulty fuel pump may not provide sufficient fuel pressure, especially under higher demand.
3. Ignition System Issues: Weak ignition components like spark plugs, wires, or coils may fail to provide a strong enough spark, leading to engine shutdown.
4. Air Flow Obstruction: If the air filter is dirty or the mass air flow sensor is malfunctioning, the proper air-fuel mixture may not be achieved, causing the engine to stumble or shut down.
5. Oxygen Sensor Issues: A faulty oxygen sensor can provide incorrect air-fuel mixture information to the engine computer, leading to performance problems.
6. Catalytic Converter Issues: A clogged or damaged catalytic converter can restrict exhaust flow and cause the engine to shut down.
7. Engine Cooling Issues: If the engine cooling system is compromised, the engine may overheat and go into protective shutdown mode.
8. Electrical Issues: Faulty electrical connections or a failing ignition switch can cause intermittent power loss, leading to engine shutdown.
Recommendation: It is best to have the vehicle diagnosed by a qualified mechanic to identify the specific cause and perform the necessary repairs.
