Why does my Honda Civic stall when I accelerate?
A vehicle that hesitates while accelerating or while driving up a hill may have a weak fuel pump. Fuel injectors may become dirty over time and not be able to provide as much fuel to the cylinder as is needed. Dirty fuel injectors may cause the engine to run lean which will in turn, cause hesitation when accelerating.
What causes surging in a car?
If an engine is not getting enough fuel (this is called “running lean”), due to fuel pressure (regulated by the fuel pump and regulator), restricted fuel injectors, a vacuum leak or really anything that throws off the fuel mixture going in to the engine, this can cause the surge.
Why is my Honda Civic sputtering?
Fuel injector nozzles can become clogged over time, which can lead to a sputtering engine, slow acceleration and the car not having enough power. If they are not working correctly or are dirty they don’t ignite the fuel cleanly and the car can misfire or sputter. The plugs will need to be replaced or cleaned.
Can a bad ground cause hesitation?
A bad ground will cause everything to act up, including the computer. On modern vehicles, oxygen sensor failures don’t typically cause hesitation; the computer should realize the sensor is bad, and will likely ignore its data and detune the entire engine until you get it fixed.
