Re: Car Stalling

When you are driving it normally, does it feel like it is starved for fuel? If your car is stalling, it sounds like you aren't getting the gas to the engine. However, it could be a variety of things. In a car, when you press on the gas, this opens a valve on your intake, more air reaches the engine, the sensors tell it that more air is in the chambers and to send the correct ratio of fuel to cause combustion. If your car is stalling out, it could be anything involved in this process. My first assumption would be that it is something other then your ECU, however don't rule that out. It just seems with only 63k miles I don't think your ECU would up and stop working correctly, but I would take it to a mechanic to diagnose. Because it could be any one of many small parts along the way that could be causing it. Good luck
