My Car Is Stalling....Why?

If you've ever had your car stall you know how frustrating and frightening it can be. 

When I hear that an engine is stalling my first thought is besides the normal oh crap is do we have an issue with the fueling system?

If your engine is not getting enough fuel then it can cause it to stall. One possible reason that it's not getting enough fuel would be a clogged or restricted fuel filter. Your fuel filters job is to keep dirt and debris out of your engine and over time it can become clogged with that debris. Your fuel filter should be replaced every 10,000 to 15,000 miles. As a quick note not every vehicle has a serviceable fuel filter. Many fuel filters are part of the fuel pump and are a only changed when the fuel pump fails. That brings us to our next option - a failed fuel pump. If your fuel pump has failed then it would cause your car to stall and not re-start. Your fuel pump will not give you warning when it has decided to stop working. There is one thing that makes a difference with your fuel system, that is using good fuel. When you use better fuel it has less contaminates in it and it will allow your fuel filter and fuel pump to have a longer life. 

Give us a call and let us take care of you.

Happy Adventures,

Heather
