Hi! I've a Opel Corsa C 1.4 16v the engine start good, any codes or ligths on the dashbord appers, but after 15 or 20 minutes after the start and when the engine get temperature 90°c the engine cut out, after that, I trying to restart it, but the half of the dashbord is off... no check engine light, no oil, no inmo, nothing light are ON... after that 1 hour and when the engine is cold or warm, the engine start again normally. Do you think that the crankshaft sensor is damaged or the connector o wires? or could be the ignition switch? Thanks for your comments back. Regards from Mexico!
Thanks for all the tips , my neighbors pickup truck shut off and he immediately towed it to the mechanic shop . I told him it may be something simple and you can fix it yourself . He tried to tell me his mechanic is honest . I'm sorry I'm still laughing about that . We have some shady mechanics in this neighborhood . It's been over 4 days now and he still doesn't have his truck fixed . I had a similar experience and fixed mine the same day . My problem was the ignition module inside the distributor cap , cost $45.00 and I have my truck working and it's still working . These videos are a great help for the Do it yourself'er ; Thanks again for your time and experience to share with us . So Cool to have friends willing to help people . God bless you always and your family too .
Engine Shutdown Issue in Audi A4 2009 Wagon 2.0 I have encountered several instances where the engine shuts down while driving, particularly when I am navigating through traffic and occasionally on the 3rd and 5th gear. Recently, I also noticed that the EPC light briefly illuminates in orange when the car slows down, particularly at speeds around 50 km/h while in 5th gear. Despite these engine shutdowns, the electronic display and other vehicle systems remain operational. Could you kindly provide insight into what might be causing these symptoms and recommend the necessary steps to address them? Additionally, I would appreciate any guidance on the estimated timeframe and cost involved in resolving this issue. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.
Sure, it's an ordinary OBD2 Bluetooth adapter which connects to the app on the smartphone (in this case, Torque, which you can download from Store). Which car do you have?
Thanks for this lesson at least I can talk sensibly to my mechanic now about the problem. I believe it's dirt and clogged as the car was parked in a dusty open garage. The lights don't dim etc so I've narrowed it down to a clogged system as it starts strong when restart, Thank You.
I have a similar problem. Mine runs smoothly for a while in the morning but then it'll switch off and come on after say half a second randomly while driving. It's automatic honda brio . Did u get help with yours?
What about the throttle body and sensor.? A common issue as cleaning these are not part of a general service and corbon can clog and restrict air flow. My Toyota tarago that I bought very cheap cost me $23 dollars and half an hours work to fix.
hello, I'm just now reading the comments and looking for similar problems, I just found the same problem as mine, I have a vw touran 2009 bls, the car works normally, starts normally, does not lose power, everything is ok, but after 5 km it just shuts off, loses power on the control panel, but the lights and they still work like the door locks, after a couple of attempts to turn the key nothing happens and then suddenly it turns on and it's all in a circle again!? the question now is whether it is losing power due to a defective sensor or a defective relay, or is it possible that the computer is the problem.???
I'm here due to my 2006 buick lacrosse, I replaced the battery a day ago, the day of replacement all was good the next day traveled to work with no problem, leaving work the first red light car stalled with no notice, my dash still illuminated. Idling it don't cut off, I'm not getting trouble codes. 2006 buick lacrosse CX 3800 engine
My 2019 Chevy Malibu shut off while driving and gas gauge went to empty, but it actually has a full tank. It also had a warning showing Service Power Steering.
My car turns off when the revolutions go below 1000. If i go too slow when im stopping on a stop sign or a red light it will shut off and i just put in park and turn it on again and it always works. Whenever i felt like it was about to stall i would step on the gas JUST A TINY BIT and by doing that it wouldnt turn off. I stopped driving it for now since im trying to figure out what the problem is but do you know what this means by any chance? Id greatly appreciate any advice on this, Thanks
maybe check your idle air control valve, it may be dirty or faulty. you can clean it and if still persists then replace it. check online for the process on whatever car you have
2002 camry, 240k miles. Cut off while driving, no crank no start. Dash lights and headlights on. No blown fuses, no visibly burnt relays. Any thoughts?
My car shut off (gauges went down and radio went off ) but the car kept driving. It all came right back on but then had auto zone run codes… nothing pulled.. any suggestions
Check out your ignition switch also!! Have you had problems with it or keys, and obviously check all your battery connections and grounds including chassis ground and ground to frame or unibody,. How old is your battery there is always a month/year on side of battery when manufactured its a round circle and example, 3/22 or2/20, you get it but remember this is when the battery was made and ready for service. Just some simple stuff to rule out and most important of all double check anyone's work who have loosened or tightened stuff in the repair process and if they have disconnected plug-ins on electrical and look over those too.

Hi my Peugeot 206 driving then stop each time but it’s starting, the battery light was on, I’ve changed the alternator then the engine light turn off, but the issues is when driving it’s stopping.
I'm in the same boat but haven't fixed it yet. It probably electric wiring that your car need it fixed. I just called the Auto shop electric but they're all booked for 2 weeks. I was afraid to just change my alternator since I wasn't sure if it's the one that has a problem,also it's $245+$150 of labor.
I dont think he covered why the engine would shut off, just as i rapidly accelerated. Was on a 2 lane hyway and the car in front of me started to show way down. I had enough time to change lanes and get around, before the next oncoming car, and i had an suv on my butt, because of the slow down. I hit my signal and stepped on the gas to pass and poof, car shut off, my dash lit up like a christmas tree, and i lost power steering, i was able to get it to the shoulder, but the guy behind me nearly rear-ended me too. i find it strange that the car ahead of me seemed to slow so fast for no apparent reason too. I sat there for a min letting my heart settle, then thought i would try to start. It started fine and i drove it back home. I was on my way to see my mom at her nursing home. my car is a 2009 nissan versa. I recently had the shifter cable replaced too.
My 2010 toyota rav 4 turns off randomly when braking or slowing down and turning into a driveway. The check engine and oil light will flash and flutter on while this happens. What do you think is going on?
I went to AutoZone and my car read a lot of codes and it was saying that I had to relive the brake sensors and also the coolant sensor, could that also cause a car to stop at a stop and or when your trying to accelerate the car but it won’t go?
very late but if ur trying to accelerate and the car wont go, if ur car is in a limp kind of thing, then its probably something involved with EPC or throttle body, thats jus frm my eperience
@@ItzY3XI thank you for trying to give feedback but I don’t have that car anymore the tranny went out lol😂 currently on my third car and haven’t been able to drive it for 2 weeks
my car only shuts down after driving for more than an hour in high outside temperature, before turning off the rpms go low and the car starts to shake and i cant turn it on for 10 minutes, after 10 minutes it starts normally, any idea what it is?
I have a 2015 Mazda 3 and the engine shut off when stopping at a red light. The dashboard lights stayed on when the engine shut off and the check engine light and battery light switched on. When I press the ignition button to start the car again, it keeps cranking but dorsnt start. When I do the ignition 2-3 times back to back to force the car to start, the car then finally starts and the issue doesnt happen again for weeks or sometimes months. Any idea what could be the problem? Im due to replace the spark plugs soon (in the next 5k km) and I put a fuel system cleaner in the tank in hopes that if there was a clog in the fuel system it could clean it out. But I'm hoping you have a suggestion I could try to figure out whats happening. I'd like to add that the car battery is 3 months old only and relatively new.
Hi, could you please suggest what could be the issue with my car: car keeps turning power off randomly while driving. mechanic can't figure it out. recently changed engine breather and pcv valve, later mechanic changed crankshaft position sensor. problem persists. computer won't show errors I can drive 30-50 miles - seems ok. then engine turns off all of a sudden and this is followed by backfire (?!). when this happens it won't start right away - need to wait a little. sometimes a minute, sometimes 10 minutes I have an old e36 318ti m44 compact with 130000 miles /210000 km
Hi When we drive at a high speed of fifty miles, the car suddenly slows down as if we have applied the brakes and after a few seconds it returns to its original state. Especially on rainy days. What is the reason for that? My car is 1 series BMW Kind regards
My 2020 zl1 suddenly stopped sucking gas ,I was going 75 mph , I had at least 3/4 of a tank ,i pulled over ,it would not restart, the engine light was on , I went to the trunk and disconnected and reconnected the battery, got in, and it started right away and I made it 200 miles home without issue, this is the second time this has happened , anyone got an idea? It's going to the shop on Wednesday, but I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this issue? The car has 19,000 miles.
I have a very strange problem on my Citroen c5 1.6 hdi. Antipollution fault comes on and shuts engine off. It works only in idle and as soon i put in first, third and fifth gear it shuts down.
Maybe you can help me? I have a 92 dodge van with this issue. Has happened maybe once every 2 months. Id top off the oil and it would run with no problems. It happened again now, and itll start, run fine for 5-10 seconds, then start sputtering out and shut off
My 2017 Hyundai Elantra is only shutting off with dash lights coming on when I’m going slow or like in traffic… any idea? No codes and car turns right back on when It turns off.
I got an oil change and changed one of my spark plugs/ignition coils which I had got an engine code for months prior and never changed it. Once I did a little tune up it stopped immediately. Hope this helps
My E90 just switched off and turned all the lights off any solution u know??even the key is locked on the ignition and it can't come out bcs the car is off
I'm in the same boat right thus minute. Mine would just stop anywhere(in the middle of the busy street or highway)and won't start,just low idling,stuck ignition and a battery sign on the dash board. I was thinking maybe it either wiring issue or alternator. What was the solution for your car since it been 3 months?
Okay so look, my car only turns off when the ac is on and I am parked or idle. It shuts the engine off and struggles to turn back on. I have a brand new battery and just got a brand new ac system with a brand new compressor. What could it possibly be? And I get no check engine light… what does that sound like ?
If it was the crankshaft position sensor wouldn't the engine be continually misfiring and generally running like a pig? My car runs really sweet then stops suddenly and sometimes won't do a thing when you try to restart it. I think it's a dodgy Electrical Ignition Switch.
looking for helpo. 2014 4 runner loses power once a month. Driving normal then it loses power, I can stear and break but with no power assist. No gas/acceleration and the traction control module goes crazy. Pop into neutral and turn off and away I go. MPG was an issue so I changed the Mass Airflow Sensor and its better. No codes are sent and Toyota has no clue.
My 2008 Chrysler 300 2.7 shuts off randomly like 3 times a month when i come to a stop. But would start back up like nothing happened. No Codes Anywhere the mechanic told me. He had my car for 2 days and said since it didnt do it while he was driving he's clueless. I just Changed the Trottle Body Sensor and 2 day later it shuts off again. Im so sterssed.
Now, this might be a long shot, but you can try cleaning the MAF sensor. Here's a video on that👇 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SJp0fN74UNk.html
My Mazda 3 is doing the same thing right after they have disconnected and reconnected the crankshaft sensor plug, I'll try to find out if this sensor or plug is the reason behind this issue and will keep you updated, maybe it's gonna be the solution to your problem also
What can cause a no spark problem? fuel pressure is ok, I changed the crankshaft sensor but still nothing. It's an Opel Omega B 1998 model 2.0Ltr Exotec Engine
Indeed it was, I managed to replace the coil module and now I have spark. Thanks a lot for the help, how I wish we could interact more on this project of mine.
My 89 corvette stopped in the middle of the road, i already had a bad battery so i had to jump the vehicle and it started right up and was running good when idling, but when i start giving it gas it sputters, meaning it gives gas and then it wont and it will repeat till i stop and when i stop it will turn off i believe it could be a spark plug or a broken wire, if anyone has any other ideas please feel free to give me your input, Thanks.
93 Toyota Corolla....i replaced fuel filter. Doesnt have a crankshaft position sensor...... could it be the fuel pump?? Or that im outta gas now?? The car stopped when i was driving down the road. My ignition was punched out when my car was STOLEN it stopoed after a week after i got it back. Any suggestions??
Ooh, how I wish i came across this video earlier before i spent all my three months earnings trying to fix the exact same problem of car shutting off while driving! We did a lot of guess work until we ended up replacing almost everything! Although that problem seem to have disappeared several new ones have emerged! Currently we are dealing with rough idling which lead to a complete shut down of the engine. It is a Mazda Tribute 4cylinder, YF engine, 2003. What need we to check? Please help!
I also have a problem with my Mazda 626. I'm going to check all that was shown and I was wondering about the battery. My battery is 5 years old. I have not had any trouble with it cranking , it starting cutting off at stops, but it has just started cutting off while driving. I was thinking maybe the battery needs replacing since it is 5 years old. Thanks for all the information!!
I hv same problem in 2012 Sylphy. Car just suddenly shut off while driving at speed ~30-50km/hr. I hv try error and change few part, crank shaft sensor, knock sensor, spark plug, and yet still happened intermittent. Lastly, i change the fuel pump. I hope this is the culprit cause car suddenly shut off....Ady drived 200km and still under monitoring. Wish me good luck !
My car does the same thing. While stopping my car shut down and saying low fuel. With a full tank of gas. I’ve never let my gas get low. Car cut back on like nothing happened.
Hey.. i'm having this issue. It happen to me 2 times in the last 4months. Also happens that now and then cranks but does not start unless I insist with the ignition for a prolonged time (5sec or more). This can happen whenever. Sometimes in cold sometimes after 30min drive just decides to not start when trying to turn it on again. I have read with OBD machine and no errors were found and fuel inputs injectors have normal values. Timing belt and alternator belt were replaced last week as well as all filters and oils. MAF sensor was also cleaned. My batery is new as well. Alternator is reading well so thats good too. Its driving me crazy because i cannot find the issue. No errors are showing. Any ideas? Bought a Fuse but i'm waiting for the car to fail again so i can replace it and see if it fixes. Should the ignition conector failing trigger an error on OBD?
@@LeutrimKapllani hey .. yes i did. I've tri ed everything then went to check the fuel pipes conecting the fuel filter to the engine and they were swapped by mistake. They had no colour todistinguish one from the other. Both were balck and made of ruber so my mechaninc must have swapped them last time he did the maintenance.
There's not a warning signal or anything... Dashboard doesn't shut down but it lags. It shows engine is running while it doesn't and after a few seconds will show no rpms. It doesn't even start again when I try to kick-start it from the movement of the car.
@@arifmuhammed3400 While driving engine cuts off more when i drive around 20-30 km after heating engine stalls then need to try restarting until starts again But again stalls in a short time , i have changed fuel pump , ecm , camshaft crankshaft sensor relay 409 plugs , wires … Problem not fixed
My 2008 ford edge stops while I’m on red lights any idea why.. I just fixed the water pump because it was leaking and now my car is having this problem. Any idea what the problem can be?
Yes, that's definitely an option, @pran7003. And, actually, we have a separate video, just on this subject ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SJp0fN74UNk.html
Help:( Bmw e46 318i N42 b20 engine.. Shuts off when driving, normally when taking off from a green light or when it needs a lot of power. Then it like, loses the power and completely shuts off, dash lights are all on. I turn the car back on, sometimes it will turn on perfectly fine and then do the same thing again and sometimes it will be hard to start and idle very roughly and then i will turn it off and on again and then its completely fine! I think i will check the fuel pump next, S1B2 lambda Heizung code came on but i don't think the car would turn off from a bad lambda? I think this code is there because of the problem that is happening elsewhere.. I cleaned the throttle body butterfly and the maf sensor already. I think i should check the spark plugs too. Help appreciated!
Those engines are known to have issues with crankshaft position sensors and sporadic signal loss. Especially if it suddenly cuts off, and restarts fine afterward. Does it ever happen that briefly shudders on acceleration while warming up?
Hi,My volkswagen polo 2006 is stalling when i drove around 20-30km and it will become normal if i stop and remove the car keys out. No fault codes detected during the inspection. Somebody please explain why it is happening😢
i have 2005 kia sportage its having poor acceleration problems and occasionally dies when taking slow turns or stopping. have a few ideas on what it might be but there is not a check engine light so therefore not sure what to start with
My girlfriend Nissan Murano has code po158 & po335...it's cuts off after running rd 15 mins then I got to mash the gas down so it will catch, an start back up..then won't start at all til 30mins til an hour..then repeat same
my 2000 vw mk4 1.6sr engine goes off at random when on motion, happend 5 times on a 1hr drive.i have cleaned the maf, changed the plugs too, checked the fuel pump and filter, but the engine still goes off on motion. no check engine light or error codes. pls what do you think it might be?
I’m had a Mazda family van and stopped while driving twice. Then I got a dodge caravan and it happened again twice the is time on the freeway all off the sudden died going to a good speed. It only happened in the vehicles that I was driving and I got suspicious of my husband at the time. I sold this two vehicles and brought a new Dodge Durango and in a month I had 3 accidents because the vehicle didn’t brake.The last accident I wanted to go the court so a forensic mechanic would give an inspection, in my back my husband pay the victim to avoid court. I went to police and they told me the vehicle was not in my name even though we brought it together and in the dealership I signed documents. I immediately got rid of my husband.
Please help. I've purchased a free new and and even KIA took $200 and said I need to buy a $17K motor. Right. Not $1,700. K vexed because the car robs good. It cuts off and needs a jump and will only run until the charge is gone out of the battery. I've purchased several alternator too. I thought Kia would fix it or at least point to a specific component not an entire long engine block. AutoZone test mention can and crank shaft which I've purchased but everyone refuses to put them in. They state my problem is electrical as if the sensors aren't electrical. The result is I can only drive as far as the battery is charged so I bring the battery in the house and put it on a charger. I keep the jump box with me.. The car warms me that's it's going to stop because my dash shows a[ic of the battery. Moments later, ABS and ECS lights come on and then the fuel and RPM instrumentation needles goes dead. Kia said I have sludge in the oil and the trouble codes were cleared. I suspect the because the check engine light didn't come on while traveling to the shop, they just went off AutoZone paper work. I've seen O2 Sensors cause a car to suddenly overheat, but never seen any other sensor fault issues. Please help. What's wrong with my car. There's no communication between the and battery.
