- Oil Sensor: An oil sensor monitors the oil pressure in an engine. If the oil pressure is too low, the sensor can send a signal to the engine control unit (ECU) to shut off the engine. This is done to protect the engine from damage.
- Cam Defect: A camshaft is a part of an engine that controls the opening and closing of the valves. If a camshaft is defective, it can cause the engine to stall because the valves will not be opening and closing properly.
In general, any malfunction or issue that disrupts the proper functioning of sensors, electronic components, or vital engine parts can lead to stalling or other performance problems. Cam defects, oil sensor failures, fuel injection issues, or electrical problems can all potentially contribute to a car stalling.
