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.

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.

[@AsmirJulardzija]

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 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.

​@@xhuster6259, thank you for your response. I drive a Toyota Camry 2011. Funny enough I changed my 4 ignition coils, bought a brand new set of iridium-tipped spark plug 3 months ago, still I'm still having the same problem. Occasional stumbling. It runs fine sometimes and starts all the time even after stalls. When I look at my exhaust I see small amounts of black smoke coming out when it is vibrating. But the smoke disappears when it runs normal. We are thinking towards the direction of Crank position sensors, Injectors and fuel pump. I wasted money on ignition coils and the problem still remains. There was a time last week, just before I changed the coils, the car was vibrating and RPM was really low. I applied some gas and it didn't move from its position and stalled severally. It's so annoying that when I scan I can't see relevant codes that I can use to fix the issue. My mechanic is just advising me to change different parts without these changes solving the problem. I'm exhausted. Any ideas?

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.

Hello again ! Do you have any problem with stalling cuz i am having again the same problem?

What can cause tha engine back water to the radiator reserve bottle

[@perfectmaambo2922]

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!

[@MechanicBase]

Do you have a check engine light warning on the dashboard? Any trouble codes?

[@TheDon9631]

I have the same problem and yes I have engine and little - + cup sign

[@perfectmaambo2922]

@@MechanicBase I have no check engine sign on dash board. It has never been ever since I bought the vehicle(second hand) in 2018.

[@gilbertmeleasa]

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 !

[@markmcneilly6209]

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.

[@Patelking421]

My car truned off recently two to fours times while about reach round about 2 gear I put clutch and break that where it turns off

[@Justmeyes]

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.

[@karentid232]

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.

[@karentid232]

By the way, it's a 2007 Sorento 3.8. I just got it but it ran fine for 1 month.

[@karentid232]

I'd put the sensors on myself but my hands have arthritis.

[@karentid232]

Nothing in this video said the car will need to keep being charged in order for the car to work again also.

[@Justin-fq7vj]

If it is like my Nissan it may have a fuse blown on the positive post side . Or something may be pulling power from it while it's parked. I pulled the negative post off on my van and it didn't drain it. But that's a bandaid. Old school way to test if alternator is working. Take positive post off and if it shuts down alternator is not working properly. When doing so turn car of before reconnecting post back to battery. One of thing is to go to is fuse box and check any fuse or relay that may keep power going to battery. Use fuse or relay that is to something that is not needed but will be good so you can replace it later. Like power seat or heated mirror or the like. Not a ECM or ECU. They go to the brain of the auto. All car's have one , wish all people did. 😂 😉

[@mrmareco838]

My Odyssey shuts off on hot days.. it works ok on cooler days.. please help.

[@MechanicBase]

It isn't overheating, right? One possible cause is a faulty crankshaft sensor - when it's hot, it starts sending wrong signals.

[@martindoyle766]

My Peugeot 206 1.1 will shut down and then restart as if there's no problem and go for ages and then do it again but the last time it did the engine warning light was flashing I think the dash went off but not 100 percent sure I'll check the fault coads first it happened again tonight I will check the ignition switch first could also be a blocked fuel filter but I don't think it would start up straight away If the fuel filter was blocked ?if the ignition switch was faulty it would not bring on the engine warning light would it ? when the car shut down or would it ? The ignition crank sensor would be a problem with the engines running all the time would it? or can a problem show up now and again as with my car ? But its not a big job to change it and not to costly for that part my cars 22 years old so it could be the ignition switch connection's worn out 🤔 and I don't want to lose her just hope it's not the ECU as you can't just change them as there linked to the key for that car with the transponder in it I'll have to take my time and not panic with this one it's a right pain fantastic video you have given me some good ideas to try never thought about the ignition switch could be the problem 🤔💯👍

[@qairraquiachon8911]

My car’s ignition coil and spark plugs were all changed it starts perfectly but turns off after 10 minutes or starting. What is the issue?

[@MechanicBase]

Do you have any codes? Check engine light? This might be a bad crank sensor.

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.

[@fernandobenavidez4060]

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.

[@fernandobenavidez4060]

Turns out it was the fuel pump. Got it repaired and everything is fine 👍👍👍

[@nataliebutters4548]

I have a 2014 pathfinder and I replaced the fuel pump a few years ago and the battery a few weeks ago. But my car is still shutting off when driving!

[@MechanicBase]

Do you have any warning lights on the dashboard?

Why it shuts offs when I put in drive or reverse

[@derrellarthur4604]

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.

[@Itsaxia0]

Even me drive Volkswagen sport van,sometime sudden stop but the engine still running.what is the problems actually.

[@MechanicBase]

How do you mean, stop suddenly, but the engine still running? Do you mean the engine cuts off, but then restarts afterwards?

[@TheSenseiKai]

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.

[@nndanduleni]

My car it was the relay they replaced one relay, but they put out other relays, and they were loose, so when I'd hit a bump, the fuel relay would fail then engine off. I almost scrapped the car
