I have a Vauxhall Astra and I have noticed that every time I come to a stop, the car stalls. It has been happening more frequently and I am concerned about the safety of driving it. What could be causing this issue?
ReplyOne potential cause could be a faulty idle control valve. This component controls the car's idle speed when the throttle is closed. If it is malfunctioning, it may cause the car to stall when coming to a stop. I recommend taking your car to a mechanic to have it checked and potentially replaced.
Another possibility could be dirty fuel injectors. Over time, they can become clogged and prevent the proper amount of fuel from reaching the engine, causing stalling. Consider getting a fuel system cleaner and seeing if that improves the issue.
It could also be an issue with the air intake system. If the air filter is dirty or clogged, it may not be allowing enough air into the engine, causing it to stall. You can try replacing the air filter and see if that helps. If not, it may be best to have a mechanic inspect the entire intake system.
