- In this video well see about the main cause of a car losing power when accelerating
More serious causes of power loss may include:
Sensors malfunction - camshaft, oxygen, crankshaft, and more
Actuators malfunction - spark plugs, ignition coil, fuel pump, injectors
Mechanical malfunction - compression, air filter, fuel filter, clogged exhaust.
Your car may lose power for many different reasons. Before heading off to the mechanic, check your air filter and exhaust pipe to ensure they are not blocked in some manner. If your car is losing power while driving and the car jerks when accelerating then make sure the following parts function properly:
Low Compression
Clogged Fuel Filter
Dirty Air Filter
Clogged Exhaust Pipe
Camshaft Position Sensor
MAF Sensor Malfunction
Oxygen Sensor
Faulty Fuel Injectors
Bad or Weak Fuel Pump
Clogged catalytic converter
Bad Spark Plugs
Bad Ignition Coil - Авто та транспорт
Thank You for your sharing of the knowledge .
Last time my 2009 Chevy traverse told me that the engine is losing power , shut down the engine .
I checked what was wrong with it , I found out that the heater hose pipe was broken .
I took it to the Chevy Dealership and I was told that it is a big deal , so we have to replace spark plugs , cleaning fuel injectors and the cost is $ 1800 .
I said : no ....
And I took it back home with two truck that asked me $ 70 .
I looked for the hose pipe for $ 10 and I replaced it . And it is running properly .
I just want to say am happy & grateful for this video. I learned so much on what’s wrong with my Nissan Xterra car. Pls keep it up & thanks from Doha, Qatar 🇶🇦

Great explanation 👍👍👍very helpful !!!
Thank you boss
Hello, all this is very nice, but explain how can you test each sensor or the reading on a obd2 reader and that way we r not guesing, please
It is importanet lesson so keep it up
Thanks
very nice
Wonderful

My 1zz fe caldina was losing power I did the oil change I changed the air filter and the new spark but it still same
My Mitsubishi Lancer suddenly started hesitating, "Check Engine Light" came on but managed to get the car home, thankfully. Checked all the obvious piping and the Air Inlet Filter, all looked ok, still had the warning light on. Whilst I was waiting delivery of a an OBD2 fault coder to arrive I cleaned the air filter with a vacuum cleaner. Wow was I surprised that the engine warning light disappear, new filter now on order.
thank you good video, my toyota hilux vigo 2009 always engine light come on and power cut but i can star i can run few mile then come again so when i start the car engine light is gone, but some time come any idea please
Remove the bulb.
Hi ther. My Opel Corsa essential loses power when I drive uphill. Can it be my maf sensor. Thanks for all ur good advice
Stop driving up hills.
in other words check everything jajajajajajaja!!!!
😂😂
Right. Great video but they don't explain how to test or what symptoms to look for on each point of failure. You know when it's a bad coil or plugs, because you can often hear misfiring. And bad sensors often cause engine codes that help you narrow it down. But what if you don't see or hear anything apparently wrong?
@@COSMACELF1802that’s what I’m dealing with, car idles perfectly fine runs and drives normal but feels very slow and sluggish when accelerating, no lights are on and I don’t have any catalytic converter so idk what’s wrong
@@FatBoiiDaniel1600 Perhaps something is still clogging your exhaust. Can you remove the pipe to your exhaust system? I did this on a Tuson, unbolted the cat and strung it up with some wire to the frame and it proved the cat was blocked. Open your intake also for testing. Do a compression test. Good luck
This is amazing ❤
Good day, I have a jeep compass model 2014, my problem is that when driving the inside lights keeps switching on and off. Number when I switch on the engine, one of the head light switches on automatically. Number 3,when the engen is off, a very loud kriiiiiiiiiiiiii noise is produced. Please help what you think might be the cause.
Current
You have an electrical problem, and it could be due to several reasons. I recommend checking the fuses for the lights and the battery. After that, inspect your battery because it might be failing and causing issues. When the battery starts to fail, it can affect the lights and the sound system. I hope this helps. I explain more on my channel. Regards
Car won't speed up and sounds like blow out in exhaust but coming from engine bay any ideas what it would be anyone cheers
The first thing I recommend checking is the detonation sensor, as it often causes power loss and explosions in the exhaust pipe. If you've checked that sensor and still have the issue, it might be a clogged catalytic converter, which can cause both exhaust explosions and power loss. As a last resort, I suggest looking into the intake manifold, as that can be a more serious problem. I explain more on my channel. Regards.
Thanks for reply got it looked at the airflow pipe or something had blew off was easy fix thank god . Thank you once again 👍
Very important 😊
O/D switch doesn't work. Even, when I start power before start engine O/D off is blinking automatically. When I start vehicle o/D off light still blinking . If I drive in this situation vehicle gear doesn't work properly ( very hard to change automatic transmission) it is not working smooth. Could you please explain me?
Thank you for cooperation.

My car was changed engine, now i cannot recharge freon because its stop the engine .what is the major problem sir? Car model 2002 Honda accord.And even on driving on idle mode its turn off the engine.
Chang your throttle body
Did it pull a vacuum
It’s what we do now, list the most 5 popular parts and change those
I think the automated voice said open hood and pour in money. It could be everything.
😂😂
And to you brother
My corsa cuts off while I’m driving when I move number 6 in video MAF Sensor car start working?I don’t know what to do just spending money up and down services?
What happens when your going down the road and your car just quits all together? Good video though, I can learn a lot from from them.😊
Depends more elaborately explain that issue because there’s several reasons, fuel pump, cam sensors, alternator ^^ n more
@@dahlon6618hey man, my car loses power when I accelerate it would jerk a few times then my car would car would just stop accelerating. Restating the engine fixes it, what could the problem be?
@@JC-ij8ut personally I wouldn’t ask on UA-cam comments I would go to get a diagnosis from a real professional because that could be an electrical issue or a trans mission issue if there’s more description about it or what car I might be able to find the cause
@@dahlon6618 it’s a 2005 honda accord v6
@@dahlon6618 it usually happens on a bumpy road and dashboard doesn’t have any warning lights on. The car usually drives pretty smooth.
I put two different fuel injector cleaner 2 months apart , leading up to getting my oil change but my car shut down and is now having loud clicking & puttering sound when starting Any ideas ?
Did you find out what was wrong?
@@thewatcher93237:56
Thanks ❤️
My car (Toyota vitz) won't start properly. There's no power in one of the coils for plugs. It sometimes start but won't accelerate also it vibrates and suddenly goes off(engine)
Any help out here?
Same problem... did you get any help...?
So, I have a 2010 1.6 TDCI Focus, I've just had the EGR and fuel filter replaced because of intermittent loss of torque. All seemed fine after the new EGR was fitted 2 months ago but it's started doing it again, what can be causing my intermittent loss of power but switching the engine off and restarting it cures it for a while?
Check the luf master
@@aleksandarbosevski5055 hi, I don't know what luf master is?
mass air flow sensor
@@aleksandarbosevski5055 Ok thanks, yes I did check and clean that and I don't think it's that.
Check Injector and high pressure pump.
Out of anger when my engine won't respond when i excellerate, i pumped the excellerator pedal very hard and it responded. That's how i drive it now after discovering that. I've fitted a new exellerator pedal which comes with two built in sensors and there's no change. In short, it only excellerates when you pump the excellerator each time it stalls. What could be the cause? My throttle is fairly new, about 2/3 years old.
Brother now ur car is working good or no? I have same prblm and im thinking might be it will not be solved ?
Clogged catalytic or muffler
Spark plugs and coil packs
Good day everyone, I would also like to be helped. I'm driving a renault megane lll and the problem is that it finishes (petrol) gasoline so fast, also the engine coolent doesn't last long, every drive I have to refill. Please advise me
Leakage
U hve to check proparly da cooling system must there is a leakage. etc radiator +cap,. Pipes.,
Mine always losses power when going uphill what might be the cause? Otherwise I want to thank you for all that information ❤❤
Did you find the issue ?? I'm having the similar issue
Same here
Fuel pump most likely. It causes a lot of power loss problems in your vehicle. You have to use more fuel than you normally do when your driving up a hill. Putting more stress on your pump. If you’re going uphill and your vehicle is struggling then it’s more than likely a fuel pump going bad
Or a clogged fuel filter. Check the fuel filter first because it’s a lot easier and cheaper to replace, then you can go from there if it’s still having a loss of power
I recommend checking the fuel pump, as it is often the main problem when it struggles to accelerate and loses power. If that doesn't solve it, check the PCV valve.
Servicing is Key to Car
Mine loses acceleration power when I'm on a red light. I turn it off and on and it goes back to normal
Have you figured out what's wrong with it?
MAF
Yes mines das the same have you found out the problem
I have a Isuzu rodeo and it was doing the same thing that your vehicle is doing it doesn't have any power when you first start it but if you turn the ignition key off and on real fast while it's running it resets something but it was the electronic control module that I had to replace in order to get mine back online but more likely that's what it is for your cool pack set on top of the electronic control module
And dragging brakes
How can you be reached
I'm from Canada. My Sante Cruz is 2023. What causes it to lose power when I'm driving?
I'll be driving 120km/h then w/o warning, it drops to 20 km/h, the engine light comes on. I'll pull over, turn off the vehicle, give it a few minutes, turn the vehicle back on ... everything is fine.
There's no pattern, temperature or weather condition or particular speed as to when it drops power.
Mechanic says it's not the fuel pump. Spark plugs were changed many times, in the process of changing the throttle (this recommendation comes after he spoke w/ Hyundai's Head Office - they're not sure why this is happening either). So there are no recall notices issued. Vehicle has been in the shop 5X since April 2023 for the exact same (above mentioned) problem. Computer scan says there's nothing wrong.
Any ideas what's causing this? Or all Sante Cruzs having the same problem in the USA?
Ask your mechanic to hook the scanner and take your car for a spin to check if something pops up in the scanner.
After I start the car, it works normally, but when I try to give gas or let go of the clutch, the car stalls and the revs drop, please help me
Same help
My car is filling to rev its Toyota engine vvt.i and it shows check engine rights on the dashboard
What else left to check ..... you mentioned everything to run a car ....
My car drives with no light on but it noticed a weak acceleration. Doesnt go like it used to, prius can pass me now.
Thanks for naming everything on a car that could possibly go wrong.no help
Ummm, start with spark plugs and wiring or all parts associated with spark plugs. Also, a loose or dirty battery cable
My audi a4 2l starts misfiring after driving for about 50km and you cannot get full acceleration
You forgot EGR valve
Advise will be highly appreciated
My 2014 hyundai elantra limited lossing power i did the oil change i changed the air filter and the sparks plugs he still the same nothings changed.
Fuel filter change it located in your fuel pump most of time cause of your problem located in the back seat and clean your injectors very easy and replace the cam shaft position sensor as well you have your back in order
Turbo issue
What did you do to resolve the issue
@@abioyeafiz745 obviously reconditioned turbo and now smoking anything of the road
Like how much will that cost
It happened to me while i was full throttle approaching top speed of my car. Out of a sudden the engine starting acting weird and cutting power while still trying to produce, i kept my foot flat amd then the engine started losing even more power then i released the gaz cuz the check engine came on which btw never showed in my dashboard. When i released throttle the check engine disappeared but the car still runs fine without bugging only when i approached top speeds. Its not the speed limiter, i got it deleted and already ran its true top speed about 3 or 4x. Once it happened i came straight to youtube to find what could possibly be the issue. I will change oil and fuel filter and maybe air filter and see if it fixes my issue.
any updates bro?
@@fortis634 well i changed the oil and its better but still happens, kinda still close to top speed but only when i floor it. Weirdly i do not floor it but rather keep it in triptonic(manual mode) and the car seems to accelerate even faster for unknown reasons. Next is cleaning my injectors and see if that fixes it. I ll do that tmr
I have the same problem
@@sabrinakoehler1105 i bought and injection cleaner and poured it into my empty fuel tank before fully fueling it. I didn't feel any issue yet
@@redtail1. I’ve used sea foam twice and nothing changed, what did you use? I didn’t let it almost run out tho
👍
Where can I buy sensor because now, they remove one sensor it moving but when he put it back don't have power,so I want buy sensor where I get it
Try the Sensor store.
So it’s everything 😂
I just imagine how expensive would it be to repair such damage. its better to have a new small car instead.
egr.
I like the old school better..all this co
mponent they just a waste of time and money..my opinion.
still hestination.
I was hoping to get some answers but all I got was " It could be anything" thanks I guess 😂😂😂 might aswell added diverter valve, low tyre pressure, brakes sticking, few horses escaping for a better life, your missus putting on a few extra pounds 🤦♂️
Yes, that is the problem with ECU Engines, you need an OBD1 or 2 fault code reader to highlight which sensor is sending an error. I got lucky by just cleaning the air inlet filter with an hesitating engine. (filter looked ok and would have been ok in a pre-ECU car).
Mecedes benz lose of power issues
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Other words change evrything till you dont fix it,lmao can be this can be that we know that
This video tells u to sell ur car, one thing breaks all need to be replaced 😂
bro literally he just told us to basically change everything 😭
Faulty turbos
Yes called drive by wire not mechanical And this called EPA restricted modes.😂😂😂😂
Computer generated speech is terrible.
Ok takiyu
Lmfao well everything in the engine this video is a joke from the tittle to all the parts he suggests
Terrible computer generated voice video.
Thank you
Thanks
What happens when your going down the road and your car just quits all together? Good video though, I can learn a lot from from them.😊
Could be any sensor or the alternator this issue has happened to me multiple times but lucky my alternator wasn’t too bad it just cut off and came on
Could be a bad fuel pump. Fuel pump could be overheating, or going bad
Did you solve it buddy
Airflow metre
😅yes
Thanks
