Why does car die when you push gas pedal?

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. Usually when I learn of something like this, I think of a vacuum leak being present. This causes excessive air into the engine compared to the fuel and spark mixture. You can never get enough fuel to compensate for massive air leaks. However, fuel, spark and air should all be checked -- as well as clear exhaust flow. Hands on testing is needed. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link or call us at 877-913-1554.
