Why does my car stall after hitting a puddle?

If the car stalls and runs bad or won’t restart after hitting a puddle, it’s likely that water splashed all the way up to the distributor or coil, and is causing excessive arcing until it dries out. If the distributor is mounted at the front of the engine, it really should have a plastic shield over it.

What causes a car to not start or stall?

If the relay fails or any of the fusing in the starter circuit before the relay fails (perhaps for good reason, like a short), the starter won’t get any power. While there’s always a chance it will cause damage, I’m in the habit of bypassing the starter relay with whatever is handy, to power up the starter.

Why does my Chainsaw start but won’t run?

Re-chocking (once until it kicks) gets it running again for another 20-30 seconds. This pattern continues to repeat itself even after the saw is well warmed up. Has to be a ‘gas’ problem – I’m thinking bad/dirty gas, or maybe more likely a carburetor problem (eg fuel pump?).

How does a Stihl Chainsaw start and stop?

The second is via an impulse line (from the engine) which sucks in direct sync with the ‘revs’ of the engine. This line works on one of the 2 diaphragms in the carby to suck fuel up into the carby independent of which way the saw is sitting.

The engine may start and idle fine, but run out of power or even stall at highway speeds. If the engine starts right back up after stalling, the likely cause is low fuel volume delivery because of a weak pump. If the engine is running normally one minute, but suddenly quits, loss of ignition may be the problem.

When does an airplane stall what do you call it?

When does the stall speed of an airplane increase?

Stall speed is increased when the wing surfaces are contaminated with ice or frost creating a rougher surface, and heavier airframe due to ice accumulation. Stalls occur not only at slow airspeed, but at any speed when the wings exceed their critical angle of attack.

What to do if your Chevy Equinox is stalling?

What should I do if my car stalls and wont start?

If your vehicle stalls and won’t start again, but then starts without issue after sitting for a few minutes, it may be a clogged fuel filter.
