Question

What does it mean when your car keeps shutting off while you're driving?

IT MEANZ UR CAR IS ******* AWESOME!!!!!!!  

Answer 2

Get your battery and terminals checked. Mine wasn't getting enough juice, so when we were driving down the highway and my boyfriend turned on the AC... POOF. Dead.  

Answer 3

Your car doesn't like you.

Answer 4

If you have a manual transmission, it's because you don't know how to shift properly.

If it's an automatic, check your battery cables.

Answer 5

fuel pump - fuel filter- air filter

Answer 6

It could be any number of things such as you're out of gas, the fuel pump is quitting on you, you have a bad crankshaft position sender ( or any number of other sensors giving a bad reading ), the ignition coil(s) has an intermittent fault, etc.

It could be any of these or about 300 other guesses.  Do you have a check engine light coming on?

Answer 7

it means its time for a new car.  

Answer 8

it means something is wrong with it

Answer 9

Might be overheating. Thermostat may need replacing.

Answer 10

You really did't give us much to go by,but i'm going to say that you might want to replace your fuel filter, Depending on want car you have it could also be the main fuse for the ignition,that fuse should be under the hoodin a fuse box. The battery is'nt going to be antthing to do wit it, because the battery is'nt what keeps the engine running , it's the alternator that keeps the enigne runnning. One more thing , it could be your ignition module  or maybe your fuel pump .

Answer 11

loose battery cable or corroded battery terminal.

Answer 12

you need to supply more information about your car, like what are you driving and is it a stick or auto. if its an auto the first thing i would check is your battery cables. make sure they are on there snug and are connected properly, if it tends to shut off while your driving and it does it when you hit a bump that could be why, its moving your cabes around. now is it shutting off from being at a stop and then going? please provide more info about your car so that i can properly help you out!

Answer 13

it means you need to get a new one

Answer 14

its called  "stalling"  go to a mechanic!!!

Answer 15

could be the alternator, especially if it is happening often.

if it is the alternator, you'll find out soon enough when the car dies, then won't start at all and won't take/keep a start with jumper cables.

You'll be stranded in the middle of the street/freeway when this last episode of dying happens (if it is the alternator)

Answer 16

probably one of ur fuses is about to blow out
