Learn to Diagnose Why Your Car is Stalling or Sputtering
When the car is running, it needs to be able to bring in air through the air intake and expel air out through the exhaust. If the engine is stalling, sputtering, or slowly accelerates even with the gas pedal pressed down, the airflow might be restricted. Bad or blocked parts like a dirty air filter or a clogged air inlet tube can cause engine performance issues like hard starting or rough idling. Checking the air intake system doesn’t take long. This article explains what to check if your engine isn’t performing as well or if a check engine light came on for the air intake system.
