- Incorrect battery/alternator installation.
- Faulty wiring or connections (e.g., loose/corroded wires).
- Issues with the fuel system (e.g., clogged fuel filter, faulty fuel pump).
- Problems with the ignition system (e.g., worn spark plugs, faulty coil packs).
- Failing sensors (e.g., oxygen sensor, mass airflow sensor).
- Mechanical issues (e.g., vacuum leaks, worn engine components).
Recommended Actions
- Verify the battery/alternator installation follows the manufacturer's guidelines, including proper wire connections.
- Inspect and tighten any loose or corroded electrical connections related to the battery, alternator, and other electrical components.
- Check your fuel filter for clogs and fuel pump for proper functioning.
- Examine your spark plugs for wear and replace them if necessary. Inspect and test the coil packs.
- Diagnose and replace any failing or malfunctioning sensors (oxygen sensor, mass airflow sensor, etc.)
- Look for vacuum leaks and repair/replace damaged vacuum lines or components.
- Have a qualified mechanic inspect for underlying mechanical issues, such as worn engine components.
Note: If you feel unsure or uncomfortable performing any of the above checks or repairs, consult a professional automotive technician for assistance to avoid further damage to your vehicle.
