Dear fellow car enthusiasts, I've been experiencing an issue with my 2008 Yaris where it occasionally stalls while idling at a red light. After restarting, it might stall again at the next red light. This happens two or three times, but then it runs fine afterwards. There are no error codes on the dashboard, and when I took it to the repair shop, the diagnostics showed everything was normal. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Idle stalling is usually related to fuel or electrical issues. If you have used counterfeit engine oil and haven't done regular maintenance, leading to increased carbon deposits in the cylinders and fuel injectors, then a major overhaul might be necessary. 💡

Hello, since it's an old car, there can be many issues to consider. First, check if the spark plugs and ignition wires are functioning properly. Then, look into the fuel supply line and fuel injectors to see if they are clear and working well, including checking the fuel pump. Lastly, check if the throttle body is dirty and replace the air filter. For deeper issues, it's best to go to a 4S shop for inspection. Hope this helps! 😊

My car had a minor collision and was repaired, but the alignment wasn't done. The steering wheel is off-center. After driving for a while, an error code appeared, indicating that the stability control system needs repair. A diagnostic showed that the steering wheel position is incorrect. After clearing the error code, it came back after driving for a while. Can any experts advise on what the issue might be?

1.5T manual transmission, 2016 model, 50,000 kilometers. Spark plugs were replaced at 42,000 kilometers. Today, the car suddenly stalled, and after restarting, it stalled again after driving for a while. Can any experts help figure out what the problem might be?

Why does the start-stop function in the 2009 Smart cause the vehicle to stall? It usually happens when waiting at a red light. When the start-stop function is on and the light turns green, I find that the vehicle has already stalled, and I have to wait a moment before I can restart the vehicle.

While driving normally and making a U-turn, the gears suddenly started jumping. The engine didn't stall, but there was no power. The engine malfunction light came on, and the ECO indicator disappeared. After restarting, the car drove normally again, but the malfunction light remained on.

The Kia Sportage automatic stalled while adjusting the air conditioning in D gear at idle. It restarted successfully and has only happened once, otherwise everything is normal.

Today, while driving, the engine warning light suddenly came on. No other lights were on, but I felt the engine trembling and it lacked power. After driving for about 150 meters, during idling at a red light, the engine vibration was quite noticeable. When the light turned green and I accelerated, the trembling became more pronounced and it lacked acceleration. I pulled over immediately, waited for about 10 minutes, and after restarting, everything was back to normal. I restarted a few times afterward and everything was fine. The last time I started the car, I drove a few kilometers home and it was normal too. Has anyone experienced this issue? Does anyone know what might be going on?

Jeep Liberty, 2012 model with over 170,000 km. It often stalls, especially when reversing with the AC on. When waiting at a red light with the brakes fully pressed and the AC on, it occasionally stalls too. I can't read any error codes. Does anyone know what might be the issue? Could it be a compression problem?

My 2013 manual 2.0 Peugeot 3008 stalled twice while idling with the AC on for forty minutes yesterday. Can anyone explain what the issue might be? I drove another 320 kilometers on the highway afterward, but I'm still worried.

Hello everyone, I have a question: My Mazda 6 had the engine light and oil light come on after shifting to neutral while waiting at a traffic light. The idle was normal, but there was no response when I pressed the gas pedal and shifted to drive. After restarting the car, everything went back to normal. I went to the dealership, but they couldn't find any error codes. Has anyone experienced something similar? How can I fix it?
