Answer 1

it could be the car itsself,it hte clutch is going out,,meaning going bad.it could take alot longer for the clutch to ingauge.if you let your foot out on the clutch the car should start to take off right away.within 1/4 of an inch when you let it out,if it is taking almost til the pedal is all the way out then you have to get a new clutch and pressure plate installed,depending on what make and model the cost should only be about 400-600 dollars.Hope this helps

Answer 2

I had that problem with my first car after about 2 years... it would even stall in 2nd gear slowing down or when the clutch was fully pushed in!

It was not a problem with me but one with the car... i paid a lot of money to try and fix it and still the problem occurred. mechanics did not know what it was cos all they seem to do hese days is hook it a machine and see what 'codes' appear. What happened to good old fashioned looking under the bonnet??

I ended up selling the car (part ex) and got a brand new one.

Hope you get the problem solved but don't let it make you doubt your driving ability... get on to a garage and if it still don't work just sell it and get a new one.

Answer 3

When you are comming to a stop put your clutch down to prevent stalling just before you stop. If you are doing this there should be no problem. As this is only starting to happen maybe there is something wrong with the car. Try what I have suggested and if it still happens get your car checked out.

Answer 4

Impossible to tell, I'm afraid. It could be a problem with your car which is causing the revs to drop very low when you idle which could cause you to stall. Otherwise, are you are putting your foot on the clutch too late. Brake to slow then put the clutch in whilst continuing to come to a stop.
Really hard to answer that one.

Answer 5

I'd say the problem is more likely mechanical than anything your doing. The clutch could be on the way out. Throttle position sensor, air mass meter, idle control valve. Could be a lot of things. Get a mechanic to look it over.

Answer 6

If the car feels and sounds as though it's pulling forward when you depress the brake, you're not getting the clutch peddle pushed all the way in. If not you may have a throttle position sensor problem.

Answer 7

When you get just below 10 miles per hour, push in the clutch, put the transmission in neutral, and you won't kill the engine. When you are ready to move forward again, push in the clutch, put the transmission if first and slowly ease off the clutch until you start to move. Smooth, fluid movements please. There you go, clutch in, 2nd gear, clutch out, accelerate slowly. Very good...

Answer 8

you must be braking without dipping the clutch, just remember to keep the clutch down whilst stopping or it will stall, keep the clutch down whilst you go into first and keep it down until you get the bite on the accelerator to go off again, maybe the car needs a service and its not you its the car.

Answer 9

difficult to tell but it could be the car, if its fairly old and has a carberettor rather than fuel injection these normally have 2 needles that control the flow of petrol to the engine one that opens up when driving the other that controls the idle speed of you enging when stationary, if not working correctly you engine could cut out, does it happen even if you push your clucth in well before stopping, not so sure about fuel injection systems but might be worth having it checked

Answer 10

It cant be you if you have been driving for 2 years and its only just started to happen,theres something wrong with your car,its stalling when the revs drop to nothing.
