Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my car stall at traffic lights?

Stalling at traffic lights (idle stall) is almost always caused by a dirty throttle body or a faulty idle air control valve. These restrict the airflow the engine needs at idle, especially with AC load. GarageNation cleans throttle bodies for ₹2,500 — this resolves most idle-stall complaints without further parts.

Why does my car stall while driving at low speed?

Stalling while driving (not at idle) points to an intermittent crankshaft or camshaft position sensor fault — the engine loses its RPM reference and shuts off. This is often intermittent and difficult to reproduce, but the freeze-frame data captured during a stall event makes diagnosis possible. GarageNation scans with OEM-level tools that capture live sensor dropout events.
